Mac Forum / Applications / Word / February 2006red cross in word OSX
I'm using Office 10.1.2 on OSX and I'm having the classic problem of being unable to display imported images in word, instead of appearing as they should a big red cross appears. I've looked into this and the only fix I can find is too remove the EndNote's add-ins from the word start-up folder. However, there is nothing in my Wod start-up folder at all. Can anyone help me with this problem?! > I'm using Office 10.1.2 on OSX and I'm having the classic problem of > being unable to display imported images in word, instead of appearing [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > EndNote's add-ins from the word start-up folder.

You can try a couple of things: - Use Disk Utility to repair Permissions on your drive - update Office to 10.1.6 - make sure the system and QuickTime are perfectly up to date. Are these files that you had no problem with before?? If they come from a PC, there is still the possibility that the graphics are in a format not supported on MacOS.

Usually, it means you are dealing with a document that had external pictures inserted. If that is the case, use Edit>Links to redirect Word to the correct location that actually does contain the picture file. Otherwise, we need to know what format those images are in in order to help you further.

I've tried importing them as pdf and tiff, in which case they display but are very fuzzy. Does this help? What colour standard? Microsoft Office cannot understand JPEG 2000 or the other new JPEG that supports 48-bit colour. To work in Office, JPEG must be encoded as RGB and not above 24-bit colour. That may well be your problem :-) Cheers On 20/2/06 8:18 PM, in article 1140427113.565811.70660@g14g2000cwa.googlegroups.com, > The graphics are definitely in the correct place as i created them > myself.
