I have OE 6 and IE 7

1) With previous versions I could copy and paste images from one email to
another but can’t do that anymore.

2) I could also copy a Word text with images and paste them in an email but
now only the text and the ghost picture frame appears.

3) Inserting a picture from the “insert� menu of Outlook Express sometimes
inserts the picture in its original size but other times it randomly decides
to enlarge the picture. Even when printing the email the pictures are way
over their original size.

Any fixes would be appreciated.

From the somewhat illegible print, I can see you created this post in Word
and then pasted it here.

Copy and pasting graphics into a new message will almost always result in a
rectangle with a red X in it. How you got away with it before, I have no
idea.

Save the images to your HDD and the Insert them in the new message where you
want. Resize them before you do.

A1. Are you composing the message in Word? If not, are you composing the
New Message in HTML format [in which case you should (a) save the image to
your HDD and then (b) Insert it].

A2. See above. Is Word part of Office 2003 and is SP3 installed yet?

A3. Insert will use the size of the image selected by default. If you use
the right-click | Send To | Email recipient option in My Pictures folder,
Windows will offer an option to resize the image.

To avoid such problems:

1. Compose emails on OE, not Word.

2. Do not copy/paste images into an email, use Insert instead.

Loosing graphics pasting from Word 2007 into OE 6 is only one of my problems
(question 2) which did not occur in previous versions. Anyhow I already have
been doing what you suggest by inserting the picture from the HDD into the
message. As I already said by doing that the picture randomly changes size
(that was my question 3). That also did not occur with any previous versions.
Thanks anyhow

Sorry, they were 3 different questions:

1) In case 1 I was not composing in Word but just trying to copy an image
from one email to another (OE 6). This could easily be done in previous
versions right clicking Copy then Paste, without the complication of saving
to the HDD first.

2) No I am using Office 2007 (SP 1)

3) No, as I said insert does not always insert the image in its original
size but occasionally resizes it. That was my question: how to avoid that
random enlarging

The point of composing in Word is to use the many functions that OE is
missing (spelling corrector, thesaurus, formatting, languages, etc, etc…)
Suggesting to compose directly in OE means renouncing all that and is not a
solution.

As said Insert changes the size of the image.

You should try Windows Live Mail.
It corrects spelling as you type.
Each inserted picture can be sized with text below the picture.
http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview
Note: you can only install and use for email.
I have 3 pop accounts and do not use Messenger or sign in to Windows Live.
You can run WLM and OE at the same time.
WLM will remove the shortcuts to OE.
I use Start, Run, msimn when I want to short OE or you could create a new
shortcut.

Copying pictures from one email to another requires saving the picture to
the hard drive when the picture was not attached to the email.

I have no problem doing #1, but the images never show up in the received
message.

#3 never happens here.

Perhaps you should use OL as your default Mail Client, Rob?

I suppose it is a problem only on my computer which occured after upgrading
to Word 2007 and OE 6. I'll have to live with it unless someone comes up with
some other trick.
Thanks for your time and care.

You upgraded to Word 2007 and OE6 or you upgraded to Word 2007 and (the
problem only occurs in) OE6?

Did you upgrade from, e.g., Office 2003 to Office 2007?

I had Word 2002 which was included in the Italian Works Suite package 2003
and then to OE 6, though not completely sure of the sequence. Then I upgraded
to Office 2007 Home/Student Italian version. Could that be relevant?
