| 1166615 | 2011-01-03 08:51:00 | Does anyone know the answer to this question that my friend asked me? "In MS Word, I used to be able to click once on the thumbnail of a photo (located in a different folder than the MS Word document), copy it, then paste it into a document, but now all I get is the name of the file (such as pic23.jpg) instead of the photo itself. How can I get back to pasting a photo into a document without having to do [Insert > Picture > From File]?" |

| 1166616 | 2011-01-03 09:03:00 | I just did copy and paste into MS Word 2007 it worked fine. I opened up the directory where the photo is stored. Right clicked the thumbnail. Went back to the Word page, left clicked on the page then right clicked to paste the photo into Word. |

It is either version 2002 or 2003. |

| 1166619 | 2011-01-03 09:27:00 | hmm, is there a diagnostic thing you can run for whatever version of office it is? | GameJunkie (72) | ||
| 1166620 | 2011-01-03 09:30:00 | Anything changed? Like the source of her photo's - from the web (i.e. downloads), which will have an embedded link to it's source, which won't directly paste in some word versions. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||

| 1166622 | 2011-01-03 11:21:00 | Actually, [Insert > Picture > From File]?" is the recommended and correct way of doing this operation, the copy/paste method can result in huge file sizes for the .doc, used to be a big problem in the past with old versions of MS Word. | zqwerty (97) | ||

Agreed. But that was not the question that was asked! |

Nothing that I know of. Actually, [Insert > Picture > From File]?" is the recommended and correct way of doing this operation, the copy/paste method can result in huge file sizes for the .doc, used to be a big problem in the past with old versions of MS Word. [Insert > Picture > From File] is the way I have always used. Never knew copy paste would work, but I know it did work because I tried it on my friend's pc about 6 months ago. |
