Hi samhdc,

In the case of a server disruption, the links should 'repair' as soon as the server is back online. At most, you might need to force Word to update them, especially if you've got the 'update automatic links at open' option set (see Word Options|Advanced).

I'm curious about the suggestion that individual links are breaking. That would usually suggest the image had been deleted from the folder concerned. I should also point out that toggling to view the field code only every worked for in-line images. Nevertheless, it's quite easy to obtain and change the link info for a given image with a macro.

Hi Paul,
Thanks again for your response. Most of the time, the links do repair themselves (sometime we have to force the update), but occasionally they do not, and since we frequently work with 50-100+ photos in a file, we need a way to fix them that is not one image at a time. In the cases where the links do break, when we look at the filepath, it has switched to the user's C drive or somehow been corrupted. The figure files are still in the original directory. We have talked to our IT people about it, but they don't know why it would happen either. All of our images are inline.

Where would I get info on a macro for this? Or additional info on how the graphics are different in 2007 than in 2003, and what new capabilities it offers?

Also, in 2007 format, how do I know the filename for any given image? If I select the image and then look at Edit Links, it does not indicate which image I've selected.
