Q: Inserting a picture

You do not access it directly - if you want to use it you either:

1 - use Photos

2 - If you have the latest version of Word use the media browser in every open/attach/upload window toward the bottom of the source pane on the left under media ==> photos ==> Photos

or

3  - select the photo in Photo and export (file menu ==> export) to a desktop folder and use from there

Office 2011 is not fully compatible with El Capitan and Photos, sorry.

Microsoft updated the office software, and Office 2016  (Word 15.15, PowerPoint 15.13.4, Outlook 15.13.4) are integrating better with Photos. You can see your Photos Library in the Photo browser and drag and drop from the Photo browser to your Word document.

And you can now copy and paste photos from the Photos Library directly into an open Word document. But you need to update the office software to the newest versions.

To use photos form your Photos Library in Office 2011 you have to export the photos with File > Export to the Desktop and drag them from there to your Word document. The Photo Browser in Word can only show you the iPhoto Library and the Aperture Library.

Thank you.

I’ll just have to export the photos and consider getting Office 2016, what a shame the Photo Browser in Word can’t show Photo ;-(

You need to address that to MS - they are the ones who have to update Word to work with newer Mac OSs - they did in Office 2016 but have not released updates for previous software (and I doubt that y=they will but it is them not APple or the Apple users here who do that)

Did you notice, Larry, we are back to replies not showing.

I could not see your reply to the original post when I answered, sorry for duplicating parts of your response.

It is back to the old stand-by of posting an empty test reply before replying.

That is right - the forums only sort of work some of the time and the spell checks is worthless - but we have cute, meaningless artificial achievements to add under our names - I'd echo the "if only Steve were still here" chorus except these problems date back to while Steve was still here so that would be more than a bit silly

As to missing replies - better to answer twice than not at all - for most threads the clue is that you click last reply and nothing happens along with the reply could being 2 and there only being 1 reply showing

You are welcome

Another dead heat:

Hi,

I've heard that the Photo Browser of Notes.app in El Capitan or the Media Browser of Pages.app can be used to drag & drop photos in Photos.app library into a word document (office for Mac 2011).

The media browser in Notes does allow one to drag photos into a Word document but not from the latest Pages.

Earlier Pages will allow dragging from the media browser and an iPhoto library into a Word document but not from a Photos library.
