First of all, this is not a VSTO topic. The better place to discuss this would be a Word group - see the links in the Please Read First message at the top of the forum. But I can provide a bit of information to give you an idea what's probably going on: 1. Under normal circumstances you should not be embedding pictures in a Word document as OLE objects. There are circumstances where this might be necessary, but in general, no. Pictures should be inserted using Insert-Picture-From file, not Insert-Object-from file.
Dunno if you still care 2 years later but the linked ehow guide totally tells you how to create a link to a file in a Word doc, you double click the link icon to open the file, any type of file. The file you link to can itself be a shortcut if you want, but it behaves as if you linked to the shortcut target. The program used to create this object is Excel. That program is not installed on your computer. To edit this object, you must install a program that can open the object. The program used to create this object is Word. Program is Word'. I have considered downgrading the Office package to Office 2010 from 2013 to see compatibility.
The major reason for using OLE for pictures is better resolution (the picture looks better). But when you use OLE you must have a program that acts as an OLE Server. The OLE Server essentially opens the picture and processes it (imagine opening a picture in a graphics program - that's what has to happen).
So you have to make sure that everyone who's going to work with and print this document has a program capable of providing this service. It appears that your machine has a program that can handle this - up to a certain point.
No telling what this might be, especially since you don't provide any information about which version of Office is installed on the machine. Word is not designed to support graphics editing - it's a Word processor.
Some early versions of Word provided a very rudimentary, internal graphics editor; one more recent version of Office provided an editor. All of these have been discontinued in Office 2007. This is not something you can rely on for automation or for working with documents, generally.

Graphics editing should be done in a program dedicated to that purpose. Cindy Meister, VSTO/Word MVP. First of all, this is not a VSTO topic.

Graphics editing should be done in a program dedicated to that purpose. Cindy Meister, VSTO/Word MVP. I came across this issue today as I was trying to achieve a specific thing, but was trying to do it the wrong way - perhaps someone else will find my findings helpful. I have Word a document in Sharepoint and I wanted to embed an image, also stored in Sharepoint, but I wanted it LINKED so that if the image was revised, the document would reflect this. OLE linking was my first thought, but it turns out that if you choose 'insert picture' the 'Insert' button on the file-browser dialog actually has a drop-down arrow, where you can choose 'Insert and Link' which will achieve the desired behavior. To update the embedded image when the linked file changes, select it (or 'CTRL+A'), and hit F9.
Note: Word 2007. I have this problem when I open a Word 2007 document that was originally created in Windows XP SP2. We embed videos in our reports. Under XP, you drag the video file into the document, and it displays as the first frame of the video with a title bar underneath showing the (AVI) file name. When I open these documents in Windows 7/Office 2007, I see the graphics, but if I click on the graphics I get this error. If i try to create a new document, I can embed the videos, but cannot display them as graphics, only icons. And yes, I've checked and cleared the 'display as icon' checkbox many times.
With WordPerfect X3, if I open an old document, I get this error immediately: 'The OLE object could not be created. The data has been loaded as a simple graphics box. Check the path to the server in the Windows registration database.' I can see the graphics, but clicking on them (obviously) does nothing. If I try to create a new WordPerfect document, again all I get is an icon.
I installed WordPerfect X3 in the Windows XP virtual machine, and it works the way it always did. But that is an awkward way to work, more time-consuming. What's wrong or different about OLE in Windows 7? It seems like all that is needed is the correct registry entry, but I have no idea where to begin with that one.
