Objects converted to Picture

[ClaireView]

We've put a Clip Art picture in Word (it says it's an ASPX file), then used
Edit/Edit Picture to turn it into a Drawing Object so we could change the
colors. Now we want to re-convert the Object back into a Picture.

The only way I've found to do this is complicated, and involves saving the
new drawing as a new Clip Art, then re-importing it. Is there an easier way?
(My co-worker remembers a much easier way, but it could be in a different
program.)

Copy, then Paste Special as Picture.

When I Copy, I only get the option to Paste. Paste Special doesn't even
appear. Is there another step?

You don't have Paste Special on the Edit menu?

Oops. Yeah, now I see Paste Special when I choose Edit. I generally work in
shortcuts, and a right click didn't give me the option. Thanks for pointing
that out. In fact, thanks for the answer to my queestion!
