TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. 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.
I'm in crisis mode -- please help! I have a document with lots of linked
graphics (300+) (I am working in Word 97 and the graphics are gif, wmf
and an occasional jpeg.) My
customer has asked that I break the links and embed all of the graphics.
(He has to send the file to his customer.) Is there an automated way to
do this (a macro or something?) My customer would like this done ASAP.
Alternatively, I've been trying to maybe convert it to PDF, but I can't
seem to get distiller to work -- it keeps bombing out on me -- and
PDFWriter seems to be stuck :< If anyone has info on that I'd be
grateful!
Thanks,
Chantel
