IncludePicture - how to use it effeciently?

[Jan Kratochvil]

I use this INCLUDEPICTURE for my images in an lagre documentation.

I am storing all my pictures in the root of my DOCX file.
My problem is if I removed the DOCX file and my pictures in other place and
updated all the fields, I see the absolute path by this INCLUDEPICTURE.
How than the update of this INCLUDEPICTURE works?

It is not good, if I distrubute the document to the enduser and he can see
the names of the folders I am using.

Exist any other cleverer way, how to work with the pictures in an larger
DOCX file?

If you are distributing the document and the other user does not need to
edit it, I would convert it to a .pdf file and distribute that.

If the other user does need to edit the document, then you could use Ctrl+A
to select everything and the use Ctrl+Shift+F9 to unlink the pictures.
