Edit Picture Greyed out?

[Troy]

I have a picture in a word doc (Insert, Picture, From
File). When I right click on the picture there is an
option to "Edit Picture" but it is greyed out!

Is there any way I can turn this on again?

I have tried it with different images: bmp, and jpg same
thing, also tried it on different machines?

Stuck

Thanks for any help

G'day "Paul" <[email protected]>,

the best solution, IMHE, is to only use linked gfx and edit them
externally from Word. If you need to make callouts, just label the
picture using a gfx package and refer to those labels in your
explanatory text. This obliterates all need for floaters and thus
headaches.

Hi,

I'm experiencing the same problem as Troy. I'm now
running Word XP. Bob's work around helped ... thanks!

I mostly insert jpeg's into the documents and then add
labels/arrows after selecting Edit Picture. This way i
find the picture and its labels are more likely to move
together.

Is there an easier way than inserting -->cutting-->paste
special-->selecting format? I recall in earlier versions
of Word I could just insert picture from file, then edit
it.

Thanks ...Paul.
