MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / December 2005Silly Question of the Day
After you insert a picture into a Word 2003 document, how do you later recall the file name of the image you just inserted? I must be looking in the wrong places because I can find no commands or options that tell me the file name of an image in a document. Happy Holidays! Phideaux Word does not keep any record of the filename unless you link to the file, in which case you can see the path when you press Alt+F9 (but only if the image is inline; if it's wrapped, you'll have to change the wrapping to In Line With Text first). Once a picture is embedded and not linked, there is no way to find out the original filename or location.  SignatureSuzanne S.

It does not give the location from which the image was inserted.

This is not exactly a convenient procedure, but it will work in a pinch. Why does Microsoft make things like this so difficult? For example, when I use FrameMaker or PageMaker or even other MS products such as FrontPage, this isn't a problem at all. OK, out of gripe mode now. Thanks. :-) Phideaux > That's a great tip, Graham.

It's designed primarily to handle text, not graphics. SignatureSuzanne S.
