Is anyone familar with the term:

"Error! Objects cannot be created from editing field codes."?

I have a doc that a client has filled with graphics that he took from PowerPoint with SnagIt (BMP) and cut and pasted into the document.

I have created the Figure Captions and when I update fields, the graphics go away and that statement is in it's place as a field code.

Anyone else come across this and do you know how I can fix it? I have done a couple of fixes by copying the graphic into Illustrator and saving it for web as PNG 24 or a GIF but it seems to lose quite a lot of quality.

There are also over 20 graphics.
