Problems with copy picture

[Kevinf]

I can not use the copy picture function or the copy picture wizard. If using
the wizard it stops on step 4 of 4. If using copy picture it says something
about a graphic filter. to check path, memory & close programs.
I have tried putting a new path no help and I have 80% free disk space and 2
gig of RAm with nothing else open.
Any help, it did work previously.\

Thanks
Kevin

What applications are you working in here?

Kevin,
If it used to work and you apparently have adequate memory, then I
suspect Project itself may have a problem. Did you try Help/Detect and
Repair? Another question, do you only have a problem with a single file
or are all project files showing the problem?

By the way, having nothing else open doesn't necessarily clear memory. I
assume you tried the obvious of restarting and then going directly to
Project.

I am having the exact same problem with Project 2007 Beta 2.

The easiest workaround I found is to use Copy Picture to send it to the
clipboard, and then paste into a paint program.

Unfortunately, some paint programs do not recognize that there is a picture
in the clipboard! For instance, Paint.NET does not see it. So I have to paste
into MS Paint (which does see it), then copy it again from MS Point. Then I
can 'acquire' it in Paint.NET or elsewhere. Crazy stuff.

I'd love for either or both of these issues to be fixed!

Thanks
Keith

Kevin,

In light of Keith's post -- what version of MS Project are you using?

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
