Office 2003 generates an error when i try to import JPEG files fr.
I have recieved jpeg files from a colleague who uses a mac system. initially
when i tried to open them i was told there is no program associated to them. Eventually i managed to get them open but find i am unable to import them into office applications such as word. Appreciate how to get round this. i have the latest updates of windows xp and office 2003. thanks |

Make sure the files have the .jpg extension, so that you can double-click on
them. Assuming you received them by email, open them from email, save them to your hard drive somewhere, then you should be able to use Insert | Picture From File. Jpg is a cross-platform format, there is no difference between jpgs on a Mac and jpgs in windows.

Thanks for this however i have already tried it and when it tries to insert
in window i get 'Convert file' dialogue box. I have tried 2 of the possibles in the box and the message is always the same. 'An error occurred whilst importing this file'. I did not have this problem with office XP. I am trying a trial version of 2003 but assume that is not the reason.

You cannot "import" or "open" a JPEG in Word; you have to "insert" it:

It should not be necessary to *open* them. You don't need to open them
unless you want to edit them, and for that you need a photo editing application. To use them in Word, use Insert | Picture | From File, navigate to where you have the JPEG stored, and double-click on it (or select it and click Insert). -- Suzanne S.
