German term or phrase: Platzierte Elemente
In an artwork/print checklist this is a title; is there a standard phrase in English? Maybe "layout elements"? Or is it simply "graphics" in this context?

The sub-heading is "Bilddaten", and all of the following info refers to graphics, eg "please use EPS or TIFF format", etc.

placed elements
Explanation:
"When users download or move Quark documents (a common occurrence), the I-Piece automatically downloads or moves the placed art files as well, thus preserving critical link-pathways between a Quark document and its numerous PLACED ELEMENTS."

(www.northplains.com/products/ipieces.asp)

"Placed art files" might also work, if you're sure they're all images and not text.

The German term may well take after the English.

agree  tectranslate ITS GmbH: Special term for elements imported into the file, mostly used for graphics files. May be QXP specific: http://www.google.com/search?q="placing" quark

  -> It would be interesting to know if this text is Quark-related. Thanks.
agree  Klaus Herrmann: Placed points to PageMaker. In PageMaker, it's File... Place, Quark, it's File... Get Picture. The shortcut in PM is ctrl-D while in Quark, ctrl-D duplicates the selected element(s). Quite a nuisance if you have to work with both prg on a daily basis.

  -> ...which I (fortunately) don't. Thanks, Klaus.
agree  Lori Dendy-Molz: I think they're often generically called "placed" elements simply because PageMaker was first.

  -> Sounds like a reasonable theory. Thanks, Id.
