Unfortunately, Carol's suggestion won't work for a graphic in a Word doc.
When a graphic is inserted into a doc as an embedded object, it is actually a
copy made in the doc & has no 'ties' to the original image file... therefore
it has no name or other Properties associated with it.
The exception is if the image is Linked (rather than simply embedded), in
which case you can go to Edit>Links to not only identify the linked graphic
file but also update the link from there. BTW - If the Links command is
dimmed it means the doc contains no linked objects.
No problem... one of the main reasons I stick around is that I keep learning
from others.
Your suggestion is a logical assumption, though, because accss to
'properties' s so commonplace that we sometimes take it for granted. This was
just an exception to the rule, so to speak.
Yes, and note also that the field code for a linked graphic is visible only
if the graphic is inline; if it's wrapped, you have to make it inline
temporarily to view the field code or use Edit Field.

html information associated with that page and contains a glut of stuff.
Each image in the document will have a line similar to
