Hello,

I am writing a report that requires me to attach pictures(.jpg format)
as references. I am unable to copy and past it onto a word document as
I would like to label them as well. Could somebody help me with this?

You can include .jpg's as a picture in Word. Assuming you use Wor
2003, go to Insert/Picture/From file... and click the picture you wan
to have inserted. Note that the way it is pasted is dictated by y
settings. Use "in line with text" (Tools/Options/Edit [insert picture
as].
Labelling can be done either automatically or manually. To do s
manually, right-click the picture and choose "Caption..." The figur
numbers (assuming you want to have them numbered) will updat
automatically when new pictures are inserted (if not, pres
[Ctrl+A]+[F9]). HTH - Henk 'RB[_3_ said:

Use Insert, Picture, From File, not copy/paste. There is an icon that will do
this on the Picture Toolbar.
Use Insert, Reference, Caption, change Label to Figure or create your own
caption label. There is an icon in Customise, Insert, Caption which you can
place in your toolbars.
If you are doing loads of images, you can create an AutoText for the
caption. ie. Create the first caption, number and sample text (not too much
as this will need replacing) Select this text and the Paragraph Mark (this
maintains style formatting), Alt+F3, assign a unique name (ie Figure
Caption), Enter. Now when you want a figure caption, place the cursor where
you want it, type "figure" by the fourth character you will see a prompt for
the Figure Caption, Enter and Bob's-Your-Uncle you have your caption. Takes
longer to rwad this than to actually doing it! ;-)
Best of luck

Sorry, did not read your question very well. What do you mean by "attach
pictures as references"?
