insert jpeg

I am running AS 8.0 Build 23 and have inserted a jpeg image into drawings many times over the past 4 years using Edit/ Insert Object/Create from file.

Recently this capability does not work. Possibly something in the system changed and this feature does not function. I can use this process to successfully place a BMP file into an open drawing, but not a jpeg.

Might this be related to the removal of Microsoft Image Expert which I recently removed from my machine?

Suggestions please.

Try the yellow icon on the toolbar called "Picture from File".

Paul,

Thanks for the input.

I guess that I do not have that toolbar active on my system. I assume that it is equivalent to Draw/Picture.

I have come to find out that the Edit/Insert Object carries OLE overhead whereas the Draw/Picture does not. I actually want the Draw/Picture option so my problem seems to have been solved.

Thanks for the help.

Matt
