Microsoft Photo Editor closes unexpectedly when pasting into Publi

M

Instead of describing the problem, I'll walk you through how to reproduce
this issue:

1) In Microsoft Photo Editor, open up an image file.
2) Right click on the object and select Copy.
3) In Microsoft Publisher, in a standard publication, click on Picture Frame
and select Empty Picture Frame.
4) Right click within the empty picture frame and select Paste.

What you'll notice is that although the picture does paste from Microsoft
Photo Editor, the Photo Editor program closes unexpectedly. And because the
program closed unexpectedly, if you want to open up Microsoft Photo Editor
again, it won't open - this is because if you look in Task Manager, the
PHOTOED.EXE process is still open, and needs to be closed before you can
continue.

If there is no solution to this weird issue, any suggestions on Office
2003-related program that could be used as an alternative to Photo Editor for
this purpose would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Why don't you just open Publisher and then insert picture from file? I don't
use the Photo Editor program at all. I use a photo editing program
(Photoshop Elements) if I need to tweak the picture first.
