How Can I Get Word 2003 Under WinXP Pro SP2 to Display Full File Names for Graphic Images Is a Word

[AA Smith]

The Subject above addresses one of my current problems with Word document
printing.

I also wish there were a straightforward, simple way for Word 2003 to allow
users the tools needed to select an image in a document and have the option
to "Open With" any of the various graphic file editing tools, such as
Digital Image Pro. If such a feature exits, I find no evidence of it in my
installation of Word 2003.

If the graphic was linked to the Word document, select it and press
Shift+F9 to see the link, which contains the full path to the file.

If the graphic was embedded instead of linked, then Word doesn't store
any information about the source file at all. However, you can extract
it to a new file as explained in
http://www.gmayor.com/extract_images_from_word.htm.

Thanks, Jay!

It turns out that the problem rests with the way pages are created in the
printer; they are converted by the built-in CPU in the printer from the
format received from the computer (e.g., PCL or PS) to the final dots on the
paper. This conversion needs printer RAM, which is often too small for home
user printers. In this case, MS Word 2003 must have used more system
resources for these documents due to large image files imbedded. Though I
have a full 1gb of SDRAM, that was apparently not enough for the conversion
process. I solved the problem by printing smaller sections of the document
in separate print operations. That worked fine.
