Re: Word (2007 and 2000) image not displaying in a file

["Chris Morton" <salt -dot- morton -at- gmail -dot- com>]

I ran into this on my last project, whereby the team leader had "issues" (in
many more ways than one!).

Converting the images to *EMF* (enhanced metafile) solved the problem in
that instance.

And as the Doors sang, *"...oh, don't ask why..."*
