Can't insert any picture in any Office 2007 app
Attempts at inserting ANY photo locks and aborts Word, Excel, Powerpoint or
Outlook 2007 (as in selecting picture for ADR card posts). System is XP w/ser pac 3. Should mention all systems initially worked, and I'm at a total loss of what I may have done to jinx the Office applications . PS: Inserting clipart DOES work. ?????????????? |

Can't insert any picture in any Office 2007 app
Beth, It locks just as soon as I click on Insert picture tab in Word, excell,
and Powerpoint. In Outlook it does the same when I click on the "Add contact Picture" icon. All MS diagnostics have been run and check OK. Seems that all other aspects of Office are working.

Can't insert any picture in any Office 2007 app
Since this dialog box defaults to the My Pictures folder can you access it
in an Exploring Window, such as My Computer? Did you change the location of the "My Pictures" folder using a utility such as TweakUI? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs Guides for the Office 2007 Interface: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/tr...295841033.aspx "James in Walla Walla" wrote in message ...

Can't insert any picture in any Office 2007 app
Hi Beth, thanks for trying to assist.
I can access My Pictures folders via anything except a office 2007 application. I don't know what TweakUI is. I've now noticed that I cannot e-mail any Office document directly out. Attempting to do so brings up a MAPI failure unspecified error, screen. This happens whether or not I have Outlook initially opened or not? I can send documents out via Outlook as attachments. This is begining to bother me very much. Too the point of looking for my old Office 2003 professional disks for a reinstall. Initially I was loving 2007 but the honeymoon is definatley now over and I'm wanting out.

Can't insert any picture in any Office 2007 app
I don't think the Outlook issue is related. Perhaps create a new post for
that issue so we can stay on topic with this one? :-) Does the issue occur if you start Word in Safe Mode? To start in Safe Mode, hold Ctrl as you are starting Word and continue holding until prompted to start in Safe Mode. If the issue still occurs, do you have a value for "My Pictures" in the Registry at: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\C ommon\General If so, what is the data value for My Pictures? Additionally, there's a fairly good chance if you install Office 2003 that you'll encounter the same issue as you are in Office 2007. :-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs Guides for the Office 2007 Interface: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/tr...295841033.aspx "James in Walla Walla" wrote in message ...

Let's see if we can narrow this down a bit. Try the following:
- Use the Open dialog box and navigate to My Pictures - Change the view to Thumbnails - Change the Files of Type to All Files Do you see the images in My Pictures or does Word lock up? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs Guides for the Office 2007 Interface: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/tr...295841033.aspx "James in Walla Walla" wrote in message ...

Can't insert any picture in any Office 2007 app
#3 pertains to the bottom of the dialog box and the "Files of Type" drop
down. Click the drop down and select "All Files'. What I'm trying to ascertain is if the issue lies in viewing the My Pictures folder using Thumbnails (which could be due to something like a corrupt file) or if perhaps the issue lies in the Insert Picture dialog box. If it's the latter then you'd need to make some changes in the Registry and I'd like to be more certain before I make that suggestion. :-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs Guides for the Office 2007 Interface: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/tr...295841033.aspx "James in Walla Walla" wrote in message ... 1. 2.
