RE: List of OLE graphics

[Esmond Pitt <esmond.pitt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Many thanks to all who responded. Several people suggested building a list of 
references & selecting for imported graphics, but my point was that the 
LOR/Imported Graphics procedure doesn't actually work for OLE-linked objects, 
it just produces a blank document. Is this a bug or a feature?

The only solution I've found seems to be to look into Edit->Links on each file, 
but there are lots of files ...
