sending email with pictures - but show as red cross

[chronos1]

Hi all,

making document in Word 2000 to send as email - not as attachment. However when i send the file to my hotmail or yahoo to test it, the pictures in the document show as red crosses, rather than the picture.

Can anyone show me what i should be doing to get the pic to show up.

thanks

Two possibilities come to mind:

1) The objects are links (the files are located on your harddrive) and are not embedded in the file. The File is uploaded, looks for the files C:/blablabla and can't find them.

2) The hotmail site is blocking the pictures as either too large or possible hazardous as part of an anti spam/virus check.

yes, don't make a word document just to send a picture. just send the picture file as a file attachment, or in outlook or OE you can embed the pic in the email so there is no attachment.
Do the world a favor though, compress the pictures first, nobody like a 5MB email.

Thanks Guys,

i think the problem, as you say, is embedding the picture into the word document - unfortuantely it's required as the pic is part of the whole email message, so it would look funny if i sent it as an attachment.

What i do normally is just insert pic into the document. What do i need to do to embed the image into the document?

thanks again

paste it in the document, then the pic data becomes part of the document. I still recommend against using a word document just to send a picture.
