Determine if image was pasted as metafile/enhanced metafile or other format?

Hi,

 

When reviewing documents, to avoid large document files, it would be helpful to be able to determine how an image was pasted.  Some people accidentally paste images as bitmaps while others use Paste Special->Windows metafile. 

 

Other than file size, is there a way to determine the format used when an image has been pasted into Word or Powerpoint?

 

Thank you,

Richard

If you are using INCLUDEPICTURE rather than paste

Tip #927 Applies to Word 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003 | 2007 | 2010

When working with long documents that contain graphics, it is not unusual to use the INCLUDEPICTURE field to actually insert the graphics into the document. If you have a large number of these fields in your document, you may want a way to create an “art list” that includes the names of the graphic files used in the document.
