inserting diagrams/pictures

[Donna]

I am creating a document in Word 2000 and have inserted several pictures from
ones I have scanned myself and are in My Documents. The document looks great
to me here but when I emailed it to myself at work all the pictures are empty
boxes with a little x in the upper left corner. I tried several ways of
inserting (embeding)these pictures, paste special, inserting them as doc s or
jpgs, as objects as pictures and any other advice the help menu provided. I
want to be able to email this document and have it open with the pictures in
place like a journal article. Is it possible that my workplace's blocking
the pictures as a security measure? Thanks for any help.

It means that what you sent was not the document itself, but an HTML email.
Email the document as an attachment instead.

Which version of Word do you have at work?

If you ZIP the file before emailing it, does that change what you see at the
other end?

Yes, thankyou, God bless you it worked! I can't tell you how many people
I've bugged trying to get this figured out, I feel so stupid it was that
simple! Thanks.

Hi Donna,

Don't feel stupid! There's so much going on, not just in Word, but in all
the programs - it's not possible to figure out everything. And we're
usually trying to concentrate on the task at hand, not on how to do
this-or-that. Even if, after the fact, it may seem "obvious". And since
Drawing isn't really Word's main purpose, graphics-related stuff can be a
real pain. Glad you're up and running, now
