367660 2005-06-28 07:55:00 Using win Xp I used to be able to insert pictures into a Word document by clicking on insert and on picture, locating the picture in my pictures and double clicking on the picture. Now it does not work. Any ideas please ? heaton (3697)
367661 2005-06-28 07:59:00 Since about a month ago, I too have lost that ability . It seems (to me, probably the only person with this opinion) that the latest M$ updates or HotFixes have really messed with the setting in WORD .

I have just dropped WORD and gone with OpenOffice for a while until Mr Bill gets this all resolved .

Currently, I get error messages the WORD could not fire the project or the Visual Basic Environment Could Not Be Initiated . A lot fo gobble-degook methinks . I have tried all the tweaks, changing file associations and names and renamed folders and such . . . no good .

I will wait and use OO for a while . . of forever if that's what it takes .

What -exactly- happens when you try?

Have you tried Word - Help - Detect and Repair?

367664 2005-06-29 10:48:00 Hi Heaton. Apologies in advance if this is too basic.... but if you have your document open with View>Normal or View>Outline, you will not see the graphics. They only show if you are in View>Print Layout of View>Web Layout. :confused:

Also worth a try....
In Tools>Options>View on the Print and Layout area, if the Drawings option is not selected then no picture will appear. This happened to one of our machines recently after a basic introduction to Tools>Options allowed one lady to reorganise everything........
