Image links severed when converting .html to .doc

Bobosmite · #1 03-28-2013, 07:43 AM

I have an .html document with 147 images. The images reside in a separate /images directory. When I convert the .html to .doc, the images in the .doc are automatically linked to the /images directory. I want the images embedded in the .doc, so I can have one single file and not have to worry about keeping the /images directory.

Is there a way to tell Word to embed the images that are currently linked to a different directory? Maybe there's an option in Word similar to how you can embed fonts?

You can break the links via Edit>Links>break Link. Alternatively, you could use a macro like:

Code:

Sub BreakLinks()
Dim i As Long
With ActiveDocument
  On Error Resume Next
  For i = .InlineShapes.Count To 1 Step -1
    .InlineShapes(i).LinkFormat.BreakLink
  Next
  For i = .Shapes.Count To 1 Step -1
    .Shapes(i).LinkFormat.BreakLink
  Next
End With
End Sub
