Q: trying to import a photo to word

trying to import a photo to word and photos won't open. when i updated the operating system i notice that not all my pictures saved over the years did not save into the Picture icon. now when i load new photos from the web, iphone etc into Photos (under Media in the side bar) sometimes the new photos show up so I can insert into msword and sometimes they don't. How can i fix this.

VIN, iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2010), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

    You posted in the Photos for Mac forum - is that what you are asking about or are you asking about Photo Booth? Photo Booth and Photos are totally separate programs and do not what photos in anyway

    Are you using iCloud Photo Library for Photos for Mac? And is "Optimize Storage" active? Then not all photos may be showing in the Media Browser.
