Insert Object Issues

[rttechno]

Hi,

I'm having issues inserting images into idws.  I pick "Insert Object" from the "Manage" tab.  From there I select "Create from File" and select my image file.  When I click "OK" sometimes it lets me place the image and sometimes it fails without error and I have to do it again.  Anyone else encountered this or have a solution?  I don't know how to reproduce it every time but it seems to fail at least 50% of the time for me.  If I follow the same proceedure a few times eventually it just works..

Thanks,

Randy

Try this, open the image in a viewer, copy.

Then in the IDW go to the Tools tab, and click the dropdown triangle beside Paste, select Paste Special.

You should be able to drop it in using that.

Thanks Andrew.  So far that method seems to be working!
