Windows XP Updated
MS Word 2002
I insert a photo frame in a document and select Insert Picture from the
tool bar.
The photo appears outside the box in its own size.
And the orginal 'box' shrinks to cursor size
It used to work fine a while ago and something happened.
Would I need to change a particular setting?
Is it possible the box will not accept a photo because it's a text only box?
ps. I can insert text in the first box, if that helps.

Not sure what you're referring to as a 'photo frame'.

There is no need to create any kind of frame in order to use the
InsertPicture command, and Frame refers primarily to Web pages. Once
inserted you can apply a border to a picture, but not before.

What tool/command are you using to create this 'photo frame'? |:)

I'm using a MS Word based inspection software that include a toolbar that has
a button called photo frame. Actually there are three that place a 'box on
the left and right and one bigger on in the middle. I call them photo frame
because once the cursor is over the button a small box calls it that.

In the past, I have clicked on on e button a box pops up and I insert a
photo that would go into that box. But lately something has happened. I'm
thinking it may be a word document I opened from another firm with different
settings that changed MY settings.

I read somewhere that a text box can be changed into a photo (box?).

If you're using an add-in, then you probably need to discuss your problems
with the author of the add-in.
