picture attachments

[miltondh]

500 meg book writen in word, has many pics attached. some of the pics were
added from a network drive. got infected with virus, re-loaded operating
systems, and re-configured network settings. now work has major hicups while
trying to add more content to doc. how do I find the paths for the pics, when
word will not let the doc open properly? written in 2003, tried to open in
both 2003 and 2007 ver. thanks for any help.

If the pictures are inserted into the document as opposed to linked to it
(which from the document size appears to be the case) there is no reference
to the original file stored in the document. If the files were linked,
pressing ALT+F9 would display the links, or from Word 2003 you could open
the document in the script editor ALT+SHIFT+F11 and scrutinize the metadata.
