unable to add .emf kind of image file to the shape object in Office2003

[kiran Nagaraja]

Hi All,
I have an issue with adding the .emf kind of image file into the shape
object of the office 2003 excel(for that matter even with the power point
and word), but the same image file is successfully added to the shape object
of office 2007.
If there was an issue with thekind of the .emf image file created then it
shouldn't have been successfully added to the office 2007 shape object. Has
anyone come across this issue or am i missing any service packs for the same
provided by microsoft.
Note: The .emf files are downloaded from web and then added to the shape
object on the fly. Its a vb6 activex component which does this process.
Regards,
Kiran N

Can you explain what you mean by "add to the shape object"?

If you import a picture into, say, PowerPoint, it becomes a shape.
Or you can use a picture as shape's fill.

Are you doing one of these things?
