Insert a picture into an excel cell & have it stay there
 

I am willing to guess that it isn't that it is going away it is that other
items you may have are overlapping it. Make sure those items are transparent
or not touching. It has been my experience that pictures get lost in the
background, it isn't that they aren't there, just not on top; think of it as
layers.

Thanks for responding. Actually, I was trying to find out if there was a
way to enter the picture into a cell and lock into that cell. So no matter
what else goes into the sheet, the pic stays there. I am trying to make a
catalogue and it would be great if I could import all my pics into excel and
then all my descriptions are already in excel format.

You cannot place objects in a cell, only on top of them.

Have you tried formatting the object to "move and size with cells" or any other
options found under FormatProperties.

I have tried the "move and size with cells" option; however, the picture
stays the same. It moves with the cell but it won't resize with the cell.
