Inserting pictures in Word document

S

Stewart Smith

Until now, to insert a picture into a document I would
click Insert on the tool bar, then choose Picture from
File, double click the picture and it would appear in the
document. I would then click on the picture, resize it
and move it or I could right click, select Format Picture
and do all kinds of other stuff.

Now when I do the above, all I see in the document is a
frame with no picture. I can't move it or resize it and,
when I right click, Format Picture is not on the menu.

What happened and how do I fix it. I use this all the
time.

I'm sorry I can't answer your question but I have the same
problem. The only way I can see the image is to switch to
the print preview mode or double clip on the image to get
into an edit mode.

Did you get an answer?
