Hello Anil,
 
Graphics are displayed in a generated document by links.  This is fine as long as the document is not moved.  If it is moved (emailed, etc.), the links are broken.  So, if you plan to send your document, do Tools->Macro->Macros.  Click mSaveGraphics, and Run.  This will embed the graphics into the document and you can then move it.
 
On extra piece of advice.  Generally, there is no problem when using mSaveGraphics, but for customers using Word 97, it can sometimes cause Word crashes during execution.  If you have a resource problem when running mSaveGraphics, try this: 
 
In the generated document, use Alt/F9 OR select Tools->Options and check the Field Codes box.  This displays the field codes for the graphic, which controls how Word merges the data into the document.  In the field code syntax for the graphic, the “\d” indicates that the graphic is being displayed by a link.  If you remove the "\d" in the field code,  the link will be replaced with the picture when you save the file.  You can use Find/Replace to do this, especially if the document contains many graphics.

This method is basically what the mSaveGraphics macro does, but it saves Word resources on very large documents.

Subject: RE: (SoDA) Report vs Document

Actually, both methods keep the "SoDA commands" or annotations in the generated doc/report.  These annotations contain the information needed to use Visit Source in either type of document.
 
As one of the previous Forum answers mentioned, if you have a template and you do SoDA->Generate Report and then on the same template, you do
SoDA->Generate Document, you will get two documents that *look* alike. 
 
If you don't NEED to use Generate Document, the best way to do generation is with SoDA->Generate Report.  It's faster (especially in large documents) and produces a smaller document.  It has less chance of problems, since manual changes are not made to the generated report.
 
However, if you need to report changes, show change bars, or add boilerplate text to your document, then Generate Document provides these functions.  After the first generation, the template is not used in the production of the document.  Each iteration is recreated from the previous generation.  The generated document can be manually manipulated and future generations record and retain the changes.  Manual intervention, of course, leaves room for mistakes, so without close scrutiny, problems can happen.
 
Determine the method of document publication that will work best for your project and use that.  You might want to use one or the other for different kinds of documents.
