Message: [QUOTE="jenniferaslan, post: 6822899"] Jim, Yes, that worked for me. Though it is definitely a workaround rather than a really good solution, it'll do until something better and/or simpler comes along. The trouble is that we have dozens of PPTs built for our client that we occasionally have to make changes to and this method would require us replacing all placed images with this image field before the "edit document object" feature would be available. It would just be a thing we could apply to new PPTs that we create from here on out. At least it embeds the image so that when we give the PPT to our client, he won't need to have all the images included with it. As I was going through your instructions, I noticed that in Word, you have to type the path of (rather than browse and choose) the image you want to place. Some of our files have very long paths, since we have a file server and a system of organizing our client jobs in folders, etc. I have found a very handy little addition to the Finder's contextual menu that helps a great deal. It's called CopyPath and you can find out information about and download it here: [URL]http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/copypath.html[/URL] Basically, you can right-click (control+click) on any file in the Finder and choose CopyPath in the contextual menu to copy the path of that file to the Clipboard in Unix or HFS format. The HFS format works perfectly for the path that Word wants when you insert the field. You just have to put the quotes around it. Thought you guys might find that useful. [/QUOTE]
