I tend to create rather long MS Word 2010 documents and include both pictures (png) and bits of text (other word documents, txt etc...) and generally use the "Insert and Link" option (so that the objects update automatically in my document as I change them).
However sometimes I forget where the object is being picked up from, and I still haven't found a quick way to retrieve the full link (which must be stored somewhere given that Word updates it automatically). I've used File/Info/Edit Link to Files but that just gives me a very long and unhelpful list sorted by linked object type. Is there a way to create an exact copy of the document I'm looking at but replace all the linked objects with their directories?
Let's say I have a document D.docx with lots of linked pictures and text from a variety of directories. Is it possible to build a Word macro that creates a document D_withLinks.docx that preserves the text but replaces all linked content with the original full link (directory and filename)? This way one would be able to open both documents, compare the two and find the link quite easily. Obviously if D_withLinks.docx could have both object and full file path it would be even better.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
