SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to insert a picture in Word, Word may appear to hang (stop responding) and the following message will appear in the status bar:

Word is updating Picture in

This problem occurs when the following conditions are true:


 * You have previously inserted a picture in the document.

-and-
 * The "Picture in " window for that picture is open.

When you attempt to insert the second picture, Word opens a new (second) "Picture in " window and attempts to update the new picture every 1-2 seconds.



WORKAROUND
To avoid this problem, close the open "Picture in " window (make the document window the active window) before you attempt to insert another picture.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
