My thesis now has many pictures embedded within it – and my pen drive is full of pictures entitled things like ‘pseudonymise this’ and ‘C2 pic7’ in various formats. The question is, which of the many versions hidden in my different folders are the versions I am supposed to be working with?<\/p>\n
I’ve just devoted half an hour to trying to persuade Word to tell me where I got the individual pictures from. I know it knows – but it’s very unwilling to tell me.<\/p>\n
The solutions I’ve come up with – and it works, but it’s not as neat as it could be – is to select ‘Save As’ and to save the entire file as a web page. Then I reopen the file in Firefox, select the ‘View source code’ option and it tells me what the picture is called. (See – I knew Word knew). It’s then a simple matter to search for it. (Well, a simple matter on the Mac. PCs always seem to find searching a very tricky process unless they’re helped out by something like Google Desktop.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
