Word cannot edit word picture object

Can anybody here help me? The word picture objects made before cannot open again for edit. They have become dead objects in the word document.

I used Word 2002. I created a word document which included a lot of block diagrams that I made using word picture to insert as inline to the paragraphs of the document. Then for some time later I came back to the document trying to edit these block diagrams, double click or edit picture couldn't open these picture objects for edit. Every object you click now became only for you to format. Edit picture click didn't response at all. Is this a bug or option setting issue?

I don't have this problem for word 2000 and version before. Old word document created with old version seems have not such problems. Is there any effective fix for version 2002, or should I recall the old version?

Thanks in advance.

Why are you posting here? Just because you're running the application under
XP, doesn't mean this is the correct place to be posting. This group is for
issues with the XP OS, /not/ with applications run thereunder.

Right-click on the picture, then click on Grouping | Ungroup.
Hopefully, Word will ask you if want to convert the picture to a
Microsoft Office Drawing Object. Answer yes, and you'll be able to edit
the individual pieces of the diagram again.
