FM 9 or 8 has nothing to do with it. In 7.2, if I import an OLE object linked to file and select Edit > Links, it's listed. If the Links dialog doesn't show anything, that means whoever imported the OLE objects simply embedded them in the doc instead of linking to a file. A really, really bad idea, IMHO. 

LOF won't help -- you simply define which paragraphs it includes. What can help is a List of References. Select Imported Graphics to include. Then use the LOR as a graphic eliminator as you page through the book. When you get to a graphic that's not listed in the LOR, it's either an embedded graphic or an OLE object. 

HTH!
