to Picture and click From File), and
WORKAROUNDTo change the path for the linked picture, edit the recorded macro and change the path for the linked picture from "absolute" to "relative." STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. MORE INFORMATION
When you insert a picture into a document and the picture is located in
the same folder or in a folder belonging to the same folder as your
document, if you choose Link to File, the linked path for the picture is
stored as a "relative path".
c:\My Documents\MyPage\mydoc.docand the picture file path is c:\My Documents\MyPage\Images\myimage.bmpviewing the field code, the relative path is: {INCLUDEPICTURE "Images\\myimage.bmp" \* MERGEFORMAT \d}However, when you record a macro to insert a linked picture whose path is relative to the document in which it is being inserted, the path is recorded and played back as an absolute path. For example, the resulting macro would record and play back the path to the picture, in the IncludePicture field, as: {INCLUDEPICTURE "c:\My Documents\MyPage\Images\myimage.bmp" \* MERGEFORMAT \d}To toggle the viewing of field codes, on the keyboard, press and hold "Alt" then press F9.
