Illustrator 10, Windows.

I cannot understand why when I place a file into Illustator (anything...tif, PSD, JPEG) the Edit Original function is not available (I get the 'NO' symbol when I hover over it). But if a place the same files into InDesign I can use Edit Original from that program. Probably something simple but it has me stumped!
Thanks.

Ooops. I worked it out. I was placing images as embedded instead of linked, how stupid. Thanks anyway.
