SYMPTOMS
When you copy and paste a WordArt image as a picture (enhanced metafile) (on the Edit menu, click Paste Special) and then edit the picture with Word as the picture editor, the WordArt image fill becomes a separate background or foreground covering the text of the WordArt image.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use a different picture editor to edit the enhanced metafile image. For example, use Microsoft Photo Editor as your picture editor in Word.
To use a different picture editor in Word, follow these steps:
- In Word, click Options on the Tools menu.
- On the Edit tab, click the arrow in the Picture editor box.
NOTE: If Microsoft Photo Editor does not appear in the Picture Editor box, rerun the Setup program and install Microsoft Photo Editor.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
