OLE links on the Macintosh are able to adjust when you move or rename the source
file. The link is smart enough to work like an alias. To insert the picture as a link
you would have to have the OLE extension loaded. Then you would use Insert/Object, click
on the <From File> button, select the picture and check the Link To File option. This
will create a LINK field in the document and this link can be automatic or manual.

In order for the OLE link to work properly you will need an imaging application that
supports OLE (Object Linking & Embedding) installed on your hard disk.
