Instead, PAF creates links to the pictures, which are stored outside of the PAF file. But when you use PAF to create a book or chart that includes pictures, a copy of the pictures ARE created within the book. This is why a PAF database of 4-5 MB can produce a book that is 40-50 MB in size. Regardless where you store the book, its embedded pictures should be visible. A bigger problem seems to be getting the pictures to appear in the book or chart. A friend of mine with Office 2003 finally gave up trying, and brought his database and photos to my house, where it took 5 minutes to create the pedigree charts with embedded photos. We saved a copy in Microsoft Word97 format (the version of Word that I use) and he went home very happy! At home, he could open the Word file and all the photos were visible. He was ecstatic! Note that except for Scrapbooks, only the default photo is included. Maybe that is your problem. To see a Scrapbook with all the photos for an individual, select the individual, click the camera icon (or Ctrl + m) and select Scrapbook. For instructions on printing Scrapbooks, click the Help link when the Scrapbook is on the screen. To print a Scrapbook or a group of them, click the Scrapbook tab on the Print reports screen. As with any print job, always Preview first to make sure you are getting what you expect. I hope this helps.
