CG> If on the other hand (as many do) you use Word as *both* source and
object format (ie. someone else is going to look at the Word doc),

In this case you single source, but maintain a diff production format. Your
source is linked, and you "compile" your source into the "object" document
by embedding the graphics like this:

Sub KillMDEmbedGfx(MyTitle As String)
' changes linked gfx to embedded
Dim k As Long ' loop var
On Error goto TheEnd
With ActiveDocument
If .InlineShapes.Count > 1 Then
If MsgBox("Embed all linked graphics?", vbOKCancel, MyTitle) =
vbOK Then
MyStatusBar .InlineShapes.Count, ""
For k = 1 To .InlineShapes.Count
MyStatusBar 0, "Embedding picture "
.InlineShapes(k).LinkFormat.BreakLink
Next
End If
End If
End With
TheEnd:
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub
