unlink linked pictures

[Jerry Thompson]

I have a presentation with many images in it. What I would like to do is
insert the images as linked pictures while I am creating the presentation.
When finished, I want to create a presentation with all of the pictures
embedded in the PowerPoint file. What I do now is to Pack n Go the
presentation with Include Linked Files option. Then I unpack the package
and distribute the resulting unpacked presentation with all the linked
pictures embedded. Is there a save option that would do the same thing more
easily? Is there a macro which could go through a presentation and replace
all the linked pictures by reimporting without links?

Distinguishing between linked and embedded stuf can get a little nasty, but
here's a quickie that'll let you select a single image and unlink it.
Re-imports the original image unlinked this time, then deletes the linked
copy.
If you decide to give it a whirl, do yourself a favor: copy and paste from
here. With all the periods and colons and such, you'll drive yourself batty
trying to retype it. ;-)

Sub Link2Embed()

With ActiveWindow.Selection.Shaperange
ActiveWindow.Selection.Sliderange.Shapes.AddPicture _
FileName:=.LinkFormat.SourceFullName, _
LinkToFile:=msoFalse, _
SaveWithDocment:=msoTrue, _
Left:=.Left, Top:=.Top, Height:=.Height, Width:=.Width
.Delete
End with

End sub

Gone and reinvented the wheel again, have I?
Sigh. I gotta get out (on the net) more. ;-)

I like their wheel better, btw.
