Image/Picture problem

[Leslie-Ann]

My problem: I inherited a Word file with about 200 objects (maps) already
inserted. I do not have the source files for these maps. I am having a
terrible time formatting the objects and getting the captions to stick to the
objects. I have all the captions correct and "keep with next" applied but
once I go to "update fields" the images get moved around and random text gets
turned into captions and moved!!!! I have had great luck with this with
inserted .jpgs (not to mention they are smaller file sizes).


My question: How do I convert these unknown origin images/objects/maps (I
think they are .wmf but don't know for certain) into a more usable format
such as .jpg? Or, how do I work with what I have to make my document
dynamic without major disruption?

Thanks!
Leslie-Ann

Thanks Graham. I should have mentioned that this file, that contains the 200
or so images, is also interspersed with text - making the doc over 300 pages.
With that said, how do I use your method on such a file that is not only
images?

 

[Graham Mayor]

The method quoted will separate the images into a separate folder. They will
not be logically named and wmf files will probably be changed to gifs. Your
original document will not be affected.
