Where to start...

[Guest]

Ok, It's been about 2-3 years since I bought my computer, which came with
Internet Explorer and Microsoft Word. Now when I try to copy pictures from IE
and paste them into Word, Word only displays a blank white box. Now this
problem might sound as if it's with my Word, but there's more. When I right
click a picture and select "Save picture as..." I am only given the option to
save the file as a Bitmap (.bmp) or Art (.art) file, which I know should
include a few more options such as gif or jpeg. To try and solve this, I
emptied the temporary internet files, deleted all cookies, and literally
followed all other advice suggested around here. Now in the past to get
around my inability to copy directly from IE to Word, I pasted into Paint,
re-copied the picture, and pasted it into Word. Now, not even that long
process will work. I am extremely irritated and have no idea where to turn.

Hi,
Since you mention ART files, see if this information from Kelly T [MVP]
helps:

NOTE: If you are using AOL:
This behavior may occur when AOL's graphic compression option is turned on.
When this option is on, the images are saved as the .art file type.

1) click on settings on the tool bar
2) click the "A-Z tab"
3) click "G-M"
4) scoll down and click "internet (web) options
5) click AOL browser tab (on the internet browser windows of AOL 9.0)
6) click on the "never compress graphics button"
7) save and restart computer

If that doesn't help check your settings here: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg
For Content Type, it should read "image/jpeg".

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpeg
For content Type, it should read: image/jpeg

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.gif
For Content Type is should read "image/gif"

If it already set to that, go to Start, Run and type in: regsvr32 /i
shdocvw.dll, regsvr32 /i shdoc401.dll,regsvr32 webvw.dll and regsvr32
thumbvw.dll (for upgrades).
