Inserting a picture into a WP document

Legg inn av singhals » 21 sep 2005 01:42:29

I have spent several labor-days trying to make WP 11.0.0.233 accept a
picture -- ANY picture!

It won't. I get an error message that WP can't open [path here]. Here
follows a list of virtually all 4000 separate images on my HD, some
dating from 1997, others taken Monday; some are b&w line drawings, some
are full-color digital pictures; WP can't open any of 'em.

Mozilla opens them; IE opens them; WORD opens them; assorted image
manipulation programs opens them, even PAINT opens them. My WP 8.x
opens them.

Logic, that little tweeting blue-bird of happiness, suggests that I
failed to do *something* while installing WP. Anyone know what or if it
can be fixed? Or was the WP that came with my DELL crippleware?

Tnx

WP = Word Perfect?

It strikes me that anybody who doesn't know that equation would be
unfamiliar with Wordperfect and is unlikely to be of any help.

Cheryl, I'm using WP10. This works for me (I've just tried with a tiff file

to confirm).
Go to [insert], then [graphics], then [from file], and pick your image.
If you select [aquire image] it expects to be given input direct from a
camera or scanner.

Have you tried the solutions suggested at

I did a search and found several. I don't have WP so can't try them out.

Thanks, John. Yes, I've tried all of 'em. Only visible effect is that
each of them slows down the system. Still no picture-import.

Sounds like the least frustrating thing to do is do a simple reinstall in

case a file has been damaged or is missing...
