pasting problems with Word 2003 and .wmf

[linc55]

'Error: not a valid embedded object' is all I get when trying to past
.wmf files
This is on a network with lockdowns for users. Those wit
administrator rights (local or network) can paste OK
The engineers who set up the lockdowns/profiles for me cannot help
any ideas anyone please

If other users who have the same profile rights as you can do this on YOUR
computer, it would indicate that your profile is damaged. Rather than
spending hours chasing around in circles trying to find out what is damaged,
it is easier to delete your profile and create a new one from scratch.

Suggest you *don't* paste as embedded objects - use Insert > Picture > From
File.

Thanks Terr

Seems like the best plan.

Not in work this week but I'll certainly try this next wee
