Thanks all for your suggestions will try them out.

As Bonnie Granat inquired what actually happens when I give the print command:
The Document prints without any graphics - just the place holders with a small red x 
The graphics in the document disappear similarly replaced by place holders with a small x
Closing and reopening the document refreshes all the graphics.

Trust this helps

Thanks again

Best Regards

Hi All

I have a problem with linked Graphics in Word. I have searched the 
archives and the help files before putting this to you all.

I am using Word 2002 on XP and have created a template for a set of 
documents I am working on. I have used this template previously for 
documents without a hitch. However this time around I have a problem while 
printing a newly created document. As with other documents the graphics 
are linked from a graphics sub-folder located within the same folder as 
the word document. I have also checked and compared the settings in Tools 
> Options as well as printer settings. I can view the graphics in Print 
Preview and in all views. However as soon as I give a print command the 
graphics disappear from all views and are replaced by an empty 
placeholder, though the picture placeholder option is deselected. They 
reappear once I close and reopen the document. When I print other 
documents originating from the same template and with similarly linked 
graphics, these check out OK. There are over 40 graphics in the document 
and I shiver at the thought of imbedding and saving them in the document. 

Any Suggestions???

Thanks & Cheers and have a great weekend
