The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Once the graphic is put into Word, the source name, if it was inserted from
a source, is not available. Often, graphics are just pasted in the
document, so there is not a filename. You can view thumbnails in Windows
Explorer and compare the pics to your document. You can also copy the pics
in the document and paste them in a graphics program to save them as new
graphics. If you want a list of just the graphic names based on caption
names, if that would help, then generate a Table of Figures from your Word
document.
