706047 2008-09-17 23:57:00 Hi all,

I've got a client who still uses Office 97. He's having issues inserting images into his word document. He's dropped it off to me to look at.

When I insert an image under insert-picture-from file, select an image (i just used the windows desktop background .jpg sample files) it inserts the image as an object and not a picture/photo. Tried inserting jpg's, bmp's, TIF's etc but displays as object and not the photo???. When I open excel and go through the same procedure (insert-picture-from file) it works fine!!

I guess it's a setting somewhere but I cannot find it! Any ideas??

Cheers.

But when you insert a pic is there an option "create as a link" (or similar) and is this ticked?

Can you drag & drop an image into a document and have the image (not a link) displayed?

I went to tools-options-view and de-selected "Picture Place Holders".

Cheers. :thumbs:
