RE: Strange Word reaction concerning graphics when updating fields

Tom:

I experience that as well (Word 2000). I think it happens when Word loses track of some vital bit of information about the application that created the object. My fix is always to open the previous version, copy the graphic and paste it into the new version. No changes, no nothing. It never seems to happen twice to the same graphic, so once I've replaced it with itself, I'm solid.

Subject: Strange Word reaction concerning graphics when updating fields




Is anyone familar with the term:

"Error! Objects cannot be created from editing field codes."?

I have a doc that a client has filled with graphics that he took from PowerPoint with SnagIt (BMP) and cut and pasted into the document.

I have created the Figure Captions and when I update fields, the graphics go away and that statement is in it's place as a field code.

Anyone else come across this and do you know how I can fix it? I have done a couple of fixes by copying the graphic into Illustrator and saving it for web as PNG 24 or a GIF but it seems to lose quite a lot of quality.

There are also over 20 graphics.
