converting pictures to embedded object
 

I have an excel file with several pictures inserted into it. Originally they
were pdf's. I was looking to convert them to embedded objects, to make them
easier to view.

When I try to open the picture in excel (x2 click) the error messege "Cannot
start the source application fpr this object" - even though I have adobe
acrobat reader. Excel recognizes it as a pdf.

The only way to convert now is to manually cut the image, paste into a
program like word, save it, and insert as an object.

Is there a quicker method? I've trying to convert it (right clicking on the
picture) with no luck

K,

Can you copy the image, go to EditPaste Special and chose a different format?
