word picture cannot be opened again for edit

[alvin]

Can anybody here help me? The word picture objects made before cannot open again for edit. They have become dead objects in the word document

I used Word 2002. I created a word document which included a lot of block diagrams that I made using word picture to insert as inline to the paragraphs of the document. Then for some time later I came back to the document trying to edit these block diagrams, double click or edit picture couldn't open these picture objects for edit. Every object you click now became only for you to format. Edit picture click didn't response at all. Is this a bug or option setting issue

I don't have this problem for word 2000 and version before. Old word document created with old version seems have not such problems. Is there any effective fix for version 2002, or should I recall the old version

Thanks in advance
Alvi

If I'm following the problem correctly, the functionality is still there, but you need to access it in a different manner.

If you right-click on such a picture, do you get an entry like "Picture object" in the context menu? And from there, can you go to "Open"?

If not, what happens if you click on the "Word picture" tool? Does the entry appear in the context menu, now?
