Save Pictoral Directory as Word Document

Post by R Pulliam »

Hi
Some how I've become the "not a Geek" for the church, but they figure I'm the expert (ex = was, pert = smart).

Power Church 10.4, Windows 7 (64bit), MS Office Pro 2010, Adobe Acrobat, Photo are JPGs
Have ran searches for "pictoral directory" and "save as Word", did not get any joy.

The powers that be want to publish a pictoral directory, using MS Publisher. I'm not getting any joy trying to get the pictures into the Word document.

I've attached the pictures to the membership directory, then go to the preview. I've selected save as a word document. The pictures are in the preview, but when we bring up the word document, we get the "camera, and picture not available".

I've been thinking that the pictures are 'Hyperlinked" in the membership report, since they don't show up in the Word doc (We sort of had the same problem where I used to work, but solved that, I'm not sure If I want to go that route). Granted we can just pick up the photos from the folder, but that's redundant.
I haven't tried saving as a Adobe PDF, as I would have to train the new person on it.

Any suggestion as to what I'm doing wrong, what I might do?

Thanks

In newer versions of the program, the only option to Save As is a PDF Acrobat file, since that is the only one that works when saving a report with pictures in it. Internally, Crystal Reports appears to lose the link to the individual images or something and everyone gets the old No Photo Available image.

Save the directory as a PDF and then Word or Publisher should be able to open it directly (at least in newer versions of Office, they can).
