MS Office Forum / Word / Web Authoring / December 2003Word 2000 and image links
I have a Word 2000 document which points to a number of JPEGs in a directory. In other words, the Word document is dependent on a directory (similar to an HTML document that has hyperlinks to pictures in a directory). If I move (or remove) the image directory, the Word document loads with placeholders only (and no pictures). How can I make the Work document self-sufficient. In other words, I would like the pictures to be embedded in the Word document. That way, I can transfer the document from one place to another without schlepping the image directory with it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "gusmeister" <> Newsgroups: microsoft.public.word.web.authoring Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2003 8:28 PM Subject: Word 2000 and image links > I have a Word 2000 document which points to a number of JPEGs in a > directory.

Tools/ General/Web Options/ Pictures/Rely on VML for displaying graphics in browsers/ TIC_check / oK yourself out and test. You may not care for the results, however it will accomplish what you desire. This is a TERRIBLE way to create ANY webpages which are not intended for use by any person using a NON Microsoft browser. With a non-MS browser the graphics will not even view, although in some instance the visitor will be prompted to download a MS VML add-in. > Tools/ General/Web Options/ Pictures/Rely on VML for displaying graphics in > browsers/ TIC_check / oK yourself out and test.

I tried the VML option with and without the check. The results were always the same. My Word document is still dependent on that image directory. In other words, the size of the Word document is tiny (100K) even though it loads a few megabytes of pictures. What do I have to do to "Save..." the Word document and get one large file with all images embedded in it?

Although the subject of your initial inquiry specifies WORD, this NG first and foremost "microsoft.public.word.web.authoring" [i.e] using Word to create web pages. Is that your desire? or Are you just looking for a way to embed images within a regular Word document? The method I described will allow you to embed the images (via VML) into a Word document and THEN create or Save As a web page with embedded images. In the event your desire is a REGULAR Word Doc? Pose the same question in "microsoft.public.word.docmanagement" > Perhaps, I'm a little dense here? > Although the subject of your initial inquiry specifies WORD, this NG first [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > In the event your desire is a REGULAR Word Doc? > Pose the same question in "microsoft.public.word.docmanagement" Thanks for your response again. Let me explain: - Initially I had only one Word 2000 document (with lots of embedded pictures). Size = 5MB. - One day I saved the doc as a web page which generated a small HTML file and an image directory - That web page sucked. It wasn't pure HTML and people with Netscape couldn't load it. - Microsoft told me to download and install the HTML Filter 2.0 Add-on for Word. - But by that time I had decided to go back to the Word (*.doc) format. - Unfortunately, when I saved the HTML file as a Word (*.doc) file, the images did not revert back to embedded images. - The new Word document (size = 100K) still relies on the images in the directory. They have to be moved together. How can I get my original 5MB Word document back? ----- Original Message ----- From: "gusmeister" <> Newsgroups: microsoft.public.word.web.authoring Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 6:35 PM Subject: Re: Word 2000 and image links > "lostinspace" <> wrote in message > ... [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > > How can I get my original 5MB Word document back? ReOpen the original Word Doc you created. NOT the HTML page. Although it appears to me (a good possibility,) that when you saved the html page as a Word doc that you over-wrote your original page. In that event (unless you backed the doc up someplace,) the original is lost and can only be recreated. :-(:-(:-( BTW, you'll NEVER get pure and/or clean html with either the Word HTML filter or even FrontPage's HTML filter (which does a much better job than Word.) The only way to get pure html is to create your own html and then validate the html with a validation checker. IE accepts plenty of erroneous code (non-compliant) and delivers pages in spite of the errors. Netscape is more strict in its adherence to code. The fault is not with Netscape, rather MS sloppiness in the creation of IE. As a result webmasters are currently required to create a multitude of "hacks" to circumvent "proper code" to work as they desire with IE :-( > ReOpen the original Word Doc you created.

Best I can do is right-click on the HTML file, choose Edit, and then, when the file is loaded, save it as a Word document. There's gotta be a way to break the dependency between the Word document and the image directory. I have posted my question in the docmanagement group. Wish me luck. > ReOpen the original Word Doc you created.

Edit > Links > highlight all pictures > Save Picture In Document > Update Now. -or- Shift+Ctrl+F9 for each individual image. ----- Original Message ----- From: "gusmeister" <> Newsgroups: microsoft.public.word.web.authoring Sent: Friday, December 05, 2003 9:04 PM Subject: Re: Word 2000 and image links > "lostinspace" <> wrote in message > ...
