Unable to Select a DDE Linked Picture with Keyboard PSS ID Number: Q60395 Article last modified on 07-14-1994

WINDOWS

Summary:

When you select a picture that is linked to a document with DDE or DDEAUTO fields, the picture will have no sizing handles available. The Format Picture menu option also is not available and your picture cannot be scaled, cropped, or formatted using Format Picture Borders. The keyboard SHIFT+ARROW key combination only highlights the picture for selection.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows version 1.0. This problem has been corrected in Word for Windows version 1.1.

More Information:

Possible Workaround for Word for Windows 1.0

 * 1) Use a mouse and click the inside of the picture, then format the picture as necessary.
 * 2) Size or format the picture within the application in which the picture was created before linking the picture with Word for Windows.
