Publisher 2007 - Clipboard is busy
I have a user that cannot post a picture into publisher from a JPG file, she
gets a message that the clipboard is busy. Drag & drop does not work. The picture is 7mg in size. We have tried deleting internet files and this has not helped. thanks Carmen |

If you are trying to insert the picture it could be the image is too large. Can
you open the image in a Paint program or Word? Take a look at the following article (Fourth FAQ). http://ed.mvps.org/Static.aspx?=Publisher/FAQs -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "Cmnsol" wrote in message ...

Yes, it will open in other programs, it just won't paste.

Is there a particular reason you need to use such an enormous jpg image?
A seven meg jpg boggles the mind. Use a graphics program to reduce its size.

We tried to resize using Microsoft Office Picture manager but when we try to
save is when we get the problem. On top of that, after getting the error when it won't save, when you exit, it deletes the file permanently.

The image could be damaged. What does the error message say? Try re-sizing the
image in Paint. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "Cmnsol" wrote in message ... We tried to resize using Microsoft Office Picture manager but when we try to save is when we get the problem.

I thought that as well, but it happened for any JPG over say 5G. I have been
able to get a work-around by creating a PDF and then saving it back as a JPG. It's a lot of work to just resize a file "Mary Sauer" wrote: The image could be damaged. What does the error message say?

... We tried to resize using Microsoft Office Picture manager but when we try to save is when we get the problem. On top of that, after getting the error when it won't save, when you exit, it deletes the file permanently. Can you open it in the Windows Picture Viewer? then use the (right-click) send-to-email to reduce it. That's worked for me for a 3+Mb picture -- 100kb. I send-to using my address but don't actually send the message, just save the attachment & delete the message. The resized picture will open in Viewer & it did import into Pub07. I still have the original file. bj |
