How to find your saved images

After the saving action is complete

You will see a message letting you know where to find the image files.

If you accidentally close the message before noting the location of the images…

  1. Look in the same folder as the Word document you've been drawing from

  2. The images are in a new sub-folder with a name that:

    1. begins with your document's name

    2. followed by _ATec

For example, if I save objects from a file named "Elements Leader Guide" that is stored within a folder named "Elements 101" then my saved picture files will be in a folder named:

Elements 101\Elements Leader Guide _ATec

About the picture files that you create

  • They will be in their original format, such as .png or .jpg or .tif etc.

  • Their file name starts with the word "image"

  • They are then numbered sequentially, for example:

    • image001.png

    • image002.png

    • image003.png
