Be careful with this function. My experience of using it was that when any
little thing changed, Word suddenly could not find the graphic. Even when
all docs and graphics were moved togetherto a different directory, it could
no longer find the graphic and the only solution was to re-insert them. I
finally got real tired of re-inserting graphics and decided instead to save
them all as gifs and use Paint Shop Pro to reduce color depth to 4 bits -
16 colors. That doesn't solve the linking issue between multiple docs,
though.
