> Question: Once the picture is embedded in Word, is there any way to tell
> what the filename of the original graphic was?
No. Word generates a link name that you can't equate to the original file name. (By the way, it also stores the bits using a lossy compression scheme such that you can never get the graphic out in its original condition, so good luck editing it.)
If you're doing the embedding, your best bet is to link AND embed the graphic, so you you can see what the original filename was. Best is simply to link the graphic without embedding, because you can determine the original filename AND enjoy a smaller, safer Word file.
