{EMBED Word.Picture 8} instead of a chart after Office 2003 update

[Wojciech Drzazgowski]

I have another problem concerning Word pictures.

When I edit a chart pasted into a Word document from Excel (Excel :
ActiveChart.CopyPicture Appearance:=xlPrinter, Size:=xlScreen,
Format:=xlPicture, then Word : Selection.PasteSpecial Link:=False,
DataType:=wdPasteEnhancedMetafile, Placement:=wdInLine, DisplayAsIcon:=False
) it automatically changes to a Word picture. When I finish editing the
picture and close it I can no longer see a chart in the document, but the
"{EMBED Word.Picture 8}" text instead. This problem appeared right after I
installed Office 2003 updates from Microsoft's site. I tried changing the
Tools/Options/View parameters but with no luck. Can anyone help ?
