Photoshop Elements & Microsoft Word

[Bernie K]

Hi

I am trying to find a book or other source of information on importing and exporting photos from and to Microsoft Word files.

The MS file may have multiple photos along with text. I want to remove a photo, resample it (change the number of pixels) and then return it to the MS file.

Thanks in advance

Hi Bernie,

Here's basic instructions. In performing this process, you may lose some qualilty in your image file.

From Word to Elements:
Right click on the image in the Word document and then click Copy
Go to Elements
From the menu: File > New > Blank File > OK
Then from menu: Edit > Paste
Do what you wish to the image in Elements.

From Elements to Word:
Save the image as .jpg or .tif (or whatever format you wish) to your desktop using File > Save As from the Elements menu
Go to Word
From the menu: Insert > Picture > From File
Look In: Desktop
Click on the image file you saved there
Insert

Hope this helps.

Diana

Bernie -
Just a question - are you using windows or mac? With mac there is a much easier way - of just clicking and dragging from one into the other.

Hi Diana and BNK

Thanks for the info. I'm familiar with word but I'm just learning PE 4.0. I find PE to be a very unforgiving program when interfacing with word. I can do the same thing two times but get different results and don't know why.

Tomorrow I'm headed to the library to pick up a book called Photoshop elements for the digital photographer.

By the way I am working with windows.

Thanks again
