cut and paste problem

[collierd2]

Hello

I have a problem in MS Word (2003)

I am trying to cut and paste a picture
When I paste it onto a pre-created document all it displays is a grey line
I'm not sure who created the document that I am trying to paste onto

If I create a new document and cut and paste onto the it works without a problem

Any idea why it doesn't work on the pre-created document?

Thanks

Is it possible to copy all the contents of the original document into a new one, ie, simply CTRL+A and then CTRL+V into a new document and save it. Once this is done, are you then able to paste the picture into this new document?

Sometimes, when a document is created on an older version of MS Word, or if the document has been edited and saved hundred of times, little bugs do appear in them which are a nightmare to resolve. Generally though, copying an pasting contents into a new document, should leave the 'bugs' behind!!

Another thought...

In the problem document, has the paragraph Line Spacing been set to a fixed value (for example. 15 points) so that when the picture is inserted In Line, the line height is too narrow to accomodate it?

If that is the problem, then suggest to whoever created the document to use AT Least and not Exactly for the line space settings.
