Replace an image with another one
I guess that is what it is. Is there a way to change an OLE into a regular
image? Jeff Suzanne S. Barnhill wrote: Sounds like it is an OLE object; note that these do add to the file size and complexity of the document. wrote in message ... Thank you Kara. I think I discovered the cause of the problem. I am working on a second edition of a book I wrote a few years ago and because it is a long manuscript, I am working on a copy of the original Word document and making my corrections on that copy which I called "2nd edition ....." instead of retyping everything. Your comment about the toolbar gave me a clue. I know that toolbar appears whenever i click on other images in the document, but on this troublesome image it did not. Aha! So I double clicked on the image and it opened up an ancient graphics program called ABC SnapGraphics. I usualy create my images in a true graphic program (PaintShop Pro) but for some weird reason I had done this one in SnapGraphics, probably because it was a modification of an image I had used in the past in my lectures. Any way I just made my changes in ABC SnapGraphics (which fortunately was still on my computer) and now I do not need to replace the "image". I guess it was what might be called a linked image (?) and not a jpeg or similar. Jeff Kara the Computer Tutor wrote: Hi Jeff, There's also a trick to moving pictures around. I don't have Word 2002, but I have 2003, and I'm sure it's very similar: 1. Click on the new photo you've inserted to highlight it. 2. Look for the picture toolbar somewhere one your screen. If it's not there, click on View, then Toolbars, then Picture. 3. To the right of the Picture Toolbar is an icon with a little dog in it. Click on it. 4. Click on either "In Front of Text" or "Behind Text." It doesn't matter which. 5. Now you should be able to move your picture wherever you want it to go on your page.

The reason I as is because when I delete the present one and then insert the new one, the new image goes into a different location and covers the text below it, etc. Is there a trick to doing this so the new image goes where the old one was?
