Pasting graphic into table - problem
I have Word 2007. I used Ctrl+V to paste a graphic into a table
cell. Thereafter,I could NOT click and get the picture frame and handles for that graphic. Nor could I delete the graphic. (Finally, we used "convert to text" and then it responded as usual, with handles, etc.) Afterwards I experimented with Paste Special and found that some formats (JPEG, GIF, e.g.) worked fine when pasted into a table cell and some (HTML and one or two more) did not. All the formats worked just fine if pasted into the document as long as it was not a table cell. Is there a default format when one uses Ctrl+V to paste a graphic? Is it the last paste format that was used? Is this the way it's supposed to be? I was very frustrated not to be able to deal with the pasted graphic in any way whatsoever. David |

Pasting graphic into table - problem
To help grab graphics that are otherwise hard to select, you can use the
Select Object tool (Home tab, Editing section, Select - Select Objects). The default pasting (and insertion) format for most graphics can be chosen in Word's options. Office button - Word Options - Advanced tab - Cut, copy, and paste section - Insert/paste pictures as: Set it to whatever default best serves your needs. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "djprius" wrote in message ...

Herb,
To help grab graphics that are otherwise hard to select, you can use the Select Object tool (Home tab, Editing section, Select - Select Objects). Thank you. That restored the 'frame' and handles. David |
