Keep in mind that Word is a *word* processing application. It's designed
primarily to handle text, not graphics.

Thanks Graham and Suzanne,
Yes, usually the filename is all that I need.
This is not exactly a convenient procedure, but it will work in a pinch.
Why does Microsoft make things like this so difficult? For example, when I
use FrameMaker or PageMaker or even other MS products such as FrontPage,
this isn't a problem at all.
OK, out of gripe mode now. Thanks. :-)

That's a great tip, Graham. Sometimes the filename alone is all you
need.

As Suzanne says, this information isn't stored, but because Word can
create
HTML files, which allow the images to be extracted, you can get some
of
the
way by using the Script editor to view the file (ALT+SHIFT+F11)
If you search the body of the document in the editor for
o:title=
That will be the name of the picture without the file extension. It
does
not
give the location from which the image was inserted.

After you insert a picture into a Word 2003 document, how do you
later
recall the file name of the image you just inserted? I must be
looking in the wrong places because I can find no commands or
options
that tell me the file name of an image in a document.
Happy Holidays!
