Can't save inserted images from incoming mail... 2007

[diamondgi]

With 2003 i was able to right click on an inserted photo and there would be
a menu, one of the items said "save photo"... In 2007 there is nothing like
it when I right click... How do I do this in 2007?

I have the same problem. The only option I get is "COPY" and then it does
not copy the picture so that I can paste it. A conversation with Dell
Corporation did not help and, of course, Microsoft refused to help (without
charging me) because Dell installed Outlook on my new Dell XPS 41J0 (running
under Vista). Note that I have only been using the software/computer for a
couple of weeks. No wonder Bill Gates is a billionaire. Hope someone has a
solution to this problem.

Thanks, but the idea of having to copy it and then pasting it into photoshop
is nasty.. plus it doesn't work well.. Photoshop does not recognise the
image... Let's hope someone knows a way around this.. I can't belive they
took something that was so easy and made it so difficult.. So that's why they
call it upgrade???

Quit knocking Bill Gates on this one. He sold the OEM copy to Dell for
pennies on the dollar, because Dell is to support the operating system.

I have just right-clicked on a .jpg and a .gif and successfully pasted to
Word. However, it won't paste into a new Photoshop CS file.

Workarounds:
1) Double click on the image, it may open in your default browser, you can
then right-click on the image as before, if not:
2) I was able to paste to Word and then copy from Word and paste into
Photoshop.

Ok.. Found the best way around without too much hastle...

In outlook 2007 click on the "other actions" tab, the click on "view in
browser", then right click and save...

A little more work but quick and easy...

I understand the differnce is... 2007 uses Word to dispay, where 2003 used
Explorer...
