Hi Margaret,
If you use Alt+F9 to toggle between the graphic display
and the field code when in Print=>Layout what is
the content of the field code of a graphic that will
not update? Between the {brace} characters?
The expanded field looks like this:
{ INCLUDEPICTURE "Graphics/Polysurface-003.png" \*
MERGEFORMAT }
What is the graphic file format and app you are using?
(I'm assuming you're replacing the same file with a
newer version on save from another app?
PNG, and yes i'm replacing the same file with a newer
version.
Does this happen in a brand new document as well as
in the problem one?
I created a new document to experiment with this, and
guess what. Everything works as expected in the new
document.
Here's the clincher on this one - after making it work in
the new document (same Word session), it now works in the
old document as well. This is a stumper. But at least now
it's working, and I might be able to keep it working.
Maybe eventually I'll figure out what is causing the
problem.
Now I just have to figure out how to keep the images from
resizing when I do a "Save pictures in document"
and "Break links."
