Anyone had problems with the Help in Doc-To-Help?

No, what I meant was when I inserted the images into my word document, I 
used this process:

Insert>>Picture>>From FIle...
Word displays an Insert Picture dialog box.
Browse to the image, select it, then rather than clicking the Insert button, 
click the arrow on the right side of the Insert button and choose Link to 
File

The difference is that the picture isn't actually stored as part of the Word 
document file. Whenever you open the document, Word grabs the image file and 
displays it as part of the document. Makes for much smaller Word documents. 
Not only that but you can use the same image in several places in the 
document and if the image changes, you only need to update one copy of the 
image.

Best regards,

Mike
