Hm, that's weird. Thanks for clarifying, though. I thought maybe you were
using an add-in or something.
Anyway, sometimes when the applications crash and restart, you get a dialog
box prompting you to send info to Microsoft. There's often a link for more
information or something that will give us a clue what is happening.
Anything there along those lines?
What antivirus product are you using? Some, especially Norton Antivirus,
have plug-ins that cause problems with Office -- disabling the plug-in will
often resolve the problem.
Also I'd check to make sure you don't have anything odd in the My Pictures
folder. (Maybe a huge huge file, or maybe an obscure picture format or
something.) That shouldn't cause problems, but I've seen stranger.
Also try Office Button | Word Options | Resources | Diagnose, and run those
diagnostics.

Sorry Echo,
it is a simple dialog box. But it never finishes opening. By that time we
have the program shuting down and restarting

Thanks,

Could you clarify what you're doing to insert the picture? I'm not aware
of
a wizard to insert pictures. When you click Insert | Picture, it should
just
open an Insert Picture dialog box that, by default, shows the contents of
the My Pictures folder (on WinXP, anyway -- might be a little different
on
Vista, I don't know).
