I'm running Word 2002 SP3 under XP SP2 at the moment. Once I load a
picture into a document I can select it and right click on it. In the
pop-up menu that comes up the "Edit" line is grayed out.

I went to Tools/Options/Edit and saw that there is a line indicating
that the default picture editor is Microsoft Word. I've read
elsewhere that I can change that by 'selecting' which of those listed
is the one I want to use... but that's the only one listed.

What I would like to be able to do is select a picture in a Word
document, right click on it and send it for editing to my favorite
picture editor, Paint Shop Pro.

Can anyone advise on how I can do this?

Double-click on "My Computer".

Tools, Options, Folder Types

Create a new type..if you are using a JPEG then create that and associate a
program to it. You may see it there and may just need to change it.
