This procedure explains how to break links for linked images in a Word 2010 document, so that the images become embedded in the Word document.
It can be applied after a Word document is published from Author-it content, and users decide to embed rather than link the images.
Caution: Best practice is to link rather than embed images. The Embed Linked Images procedure will cause any image scaling in Author-it to be lost in the Word document, and images will import at their original 100% size. An alternative embedding procedure is to use the AfterPublish Macro to Embed Linked Images in the Document before importing.
Note: This macro is not available for use in Author-it Cloud.
