Missing images in output to Word 2003

[Guest]

When I embed the images in the printed doc output, they show up in the word 2003 doc as a box with an X in it. Why? I have tried bumping up the virtual memory on my machine - that didn't solve it. If I "link" the images, they show up, but I cannot link the images in this document. Please help.

Hi

I am new here and not quiet sure if it is best to add my question here or make a new topic, but it is a extension off this problem.
The Problem is: when i link the pictures, word 2003 cant find them and shows a broken picture. If i have a look at the images link i can see the link is to the wrong directory, furthermore the images folder near the document is empty. If i change the links to the right there is no problem. Is there anywhere to get RoboHelp to make the links right.

Thanks for your help.

Solved my own problem

Shouldn't use danish letters like ø in your file names....

Thanx anyway

Figured out a work-around.... Create the document in RoboHelp and choose the "Link to Document" check box. When you view the doc for the first time (it only works if the doc has not been saved) in Word, click the Edit, Links menu. In the dialog select all the files and check the "Save pictures in Document" check box. This works, I tested it by going to another machine that does not contain my help files and all the pictures were displayed

Not perfect, but it will get you there.
