I cannot insert objects in MS Word 2007
Hi,
Could someone please help me? I cannot insert an object (embed an object) in a MS Word 2007 document. When I select the Insert...Object menu and select some file to be inserted and be shown with an icon, the MS Word frezzes when I click on the OK button and I need to force it to close. I already run the Office Diagnostics tool and no problem was found. Thanks in advance for your help, Teresa |

I cannot insert objects in MS Word 2007
Can you insert objects in other applications, such as WordPad?

I cannot insert objects in MS Word 2007
Hmm, intermittent problems are of course very difficult to troubleshoot...
Are you saying that it happens only when you insert an object from a file or does it happen even if you create a new object? Which specific type of object is affected? When did the problem start? At that time, had you made any changes to the computer (such as installing updates, new applications)? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Teresa" wrote in message ...

I cannot insert objects in MS Word 2007
Hi Stefan,
This problem started one month ago I think. I didn't do any update, but I receive hot fixes from the network that have their installations running automatically. When I had this problem the first time I run the Microsoft Office Diagnostics and restarted the PC. It didn't work. So I saw an article in a forum saying that the problem might be related to the monitor drive in Dell Notebooks, and for testing purposes, I should decrease the Hardware Acceleration for the graphics hardware. I did that by the display properties window and then I finally could insert an object in a Word document. However, few days ago the problem appeared again and the change of the hardware acceleration no longer worked. In addition, I discovered that I cannot insert objects in an Excel spreadsheet either. The problem occurs when I try to insert an object from a file using the Insert Object command or copying and pasting the file from the Windows Explorer into my document. The type of objects that I try to insert are text files and zip files. Thanks, -- Teresa "Stefan Blom" wrote: Hmm, intermittent problems are of course very difficult to troubleshoot...

I cannot insert objects in MS Word 2007
Are you saying that you can insert, say, an Excel object in Word without
problems? Does it make a difference if you create a new object or insert a file? Beyond that, I have no more suggestions, unfortunately. :-( I think you will have to ask this question in the Word Application Errors newsgroup (microsoft.public.word.vba.application.errors). ~~~ Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Teresa" wrote in message ...

I cannot insert objects in MS Word 2007
I found a way. Use Insert Object then select Create New and select "Package"
from the list and select the "Display as Icon" box. Click OK - then the Object Packager opens up - select File-Import and browse to your zip file. Close Object Package and yes to update dialog box. Then to edit the caption "Package" to a more useful name - select the package in your document, right mouse click and select "Convert". Click the Change Icon" button and edit the caption.
