Default Word 2007 Hangs on Insert Object

Thanks for continuing the thread.

When I do the insert I always insert the object as an icon. Playing around
with it this morning I am noticing that it is having trouble with files that
it cannot associate an icon with. Files with a .txt or .msg extension don't
raise the expected icon prior to insertion. There must be an association
issue in the aaplication. I had thought that the associations are determined
through the OS, but I'm thinking that may not be the case.

Thanks Robert. I used the .txt file as an example. If I said I inserted a
Word doc or and Excel doc, one might sidetrack into the type of file I was
trying to insert, and its nature. A .txt file has no baggeage so the issue
is the application it's being inserted into.

fair enough.

Do you insert the file as a symbol? Same behavior?
