Insert Object - URGENT help required
This worked before and nowit doesn't. Is it a setting I have changed? :
InsertObjectCreate From File check the 'Link to file' checkbox and browsed for the bmp image I need. Clicked 'OK' and the image doesnt quite appear the way it use to. It displays the file name e.g. puppy.bmp with a tiny tiny image. Please Help! What have I done wrong? I relied on this Inserting of objects for a documentation I am writing! Thanks |

Hi Graham
Thanks for the reply. Yep tried that and it works fine! But I already started using InsertObject in my documentation. Is there a bug I have caught?

Go to Tools Options. On the General tab, click the Web Options button. On
the Pictures tab, check what resolution you're defaulting to. "EasySite" wrote in message ... Hi Graham Thanks for the reply. Yep tried that and it works fine!

Insert Object - URGENT help required
Hi
Screen size = 800x600 Pixels per inch = 96 I dont think this setting is causing the problem. It use to insert the full size image onto the page. Now, it inserts like a little icon that says image.bmp at the bottom of the image "Jezebel" wrote: Go to Tools Options. On the General tab, click the Web Options button.

You can try the following method. I read this in some previous post.
Goto Start - Setting - Control Panel - Internet Options - on the General Tab - Delete Files (Temporary Internet Files). Let us know.

Insert Object - URGENT help required
When using Insert=Object you're inserting a link to a working copy of MS Paint (or other graphics program) into the Word document, not just the picture. That can bloat the documents, make them less transportable and use additional memory when Word is running. If you have associated a graphics program other than MS Windows Paint or MS Office Photo Editor then you may see only a thumbnail of the file with its title underneath it. Basically, the app that file type is associated to doesn't have the ability to 'feed' the finished graphic to Word. When you use Insert=Object=From file and you browse the files look at the icon next to the file name to see if what program owns that file type. You can also right click on an inserted graphic where you're getting the thumbnail and choose Edit to see what program the file opens in. Irfanview, for example, doesn't 'speak' OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) to Word. Use Insert=Picture from file and the link option to have Word control the picture use as Graham suggests is the method designed to allow you to work directly with different picture types. You'll likely also find that Word is a bit quicker with this method. If you're using Insert=Object and the file type for .BMP is associated with MS Paint be sure the [x] display as icon checkbox isn't selected. ========= "EasySite" wrote in message ...
