Cannot Insert picture as attachment only in body of email

[sylvia]

All of a sudden I am unable to insert a picure as an attachment - the options
are grayed out but I can insert a file as an attachment. However, I do have
the option of inserting a picture in the body of the email. I did used to be
able to do this. Outlook is set up to compose messages in HTML and I use
microsoft office to edit my email.
Any advice gratefully received.
Thank you
