I cannot select more than 1 picture to insert. Why?

[Guest]

In Excel 2000 when I select INSERT-PICTURE-FROM FILE and I navigate to the
folder containing my pictures I cannot select more than 1 picture at a time.
I can't use shift or ctrl to make additional selections. If I novigate to
the folder using Explorer I can select using shift, ctrl or drag to create a
box and it allows me to select multiple pictures.

Does anyone know of a setting in Excel that would allow multiple files to be
selected?

Thank you.

What version of excel are you using.

I use xl2003 and I can select multiple files from that dialog.

(I don't recall if this behavior changed through different versions, though.)

Hello Dave,

It works fine on my Excel 2003 but not on my 2000. The version of the 2000
is 9.0.2720.

I appreciate any help I receive on this matter.

Thanks,

Bob

Maybe someone running xl2k can report back.

If it was a change in behavior, I don't think you can alter it. (Maybe write
your own macro???)
