HI
I have a new mac book pro 15 '' I have installed office 365 for business purposes but I cannot add any of my
iPhotos into documents . The word media viewer lists all iTunes songs etc but no photos.
Is this normal and what can I do about it

Have you enabled your current Photos Library as your system photo library on your Mac?
Only the System Photo Library can sync with iTunes or will show in the Media Browser.
If you are using iCloud Photo Library and have enabled the option "Optimise Mac Storage", you have to download the photos you want to see in the Media browser. The Media Browser will not show photos, that are not stored locally. See: If Media Browser doesn't show your entire Photos library - Apple Support
Hi
The use as system is already grey. If i export photos to another folder i can see them.
Ive just bought this mac book pro after using a mac for years. This has never happened before. I just want my photos to
show up in word.
The use as system is already grey.
And what about iCloud Photo Library with "Optimise Storage"? Is it active or not?
You should be able to see the Photos Library in the Mac Media Browser in the File > Open dialogue in Word. But for the Word Media Browser you will have to wait for an update to Office. The applications need to be fully compatible with Yosemite to be able to access the Photos library.
where do i find this
Ok just seen rest of message . So word 365 isn't compatible I can keep exporting and it works but its the first
things that hasn't worked on a mac since i started 14 years ago
It is compatible and works here.
Can you access the Library from other apps?
hi
no. media doesn't appear in excel either. In pages it does when i select media but if i select insert and choose
the photo album isn't accessible
When i look in the users photo folder i see library but not all the photo file names like i used to on my old mac. If
i choose a photo and export it to the photo folder it appears in its file name form.
Im not sure if that makes sense but not sure what to do as its really annoying
You using the new version of Word?
2015 version office 365
As a Test:
Switch to another user account and make a Photos Library there.
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.
photos won't appear in word
