Updating graphics only and other signs

Hi Charles -
If you save the signs to your desktop, you can always delete them from  
your desktop after they are placed in Microsoft Word. Sorry I cannot  
help you more than this...computers do work differently, especially  
when it comes to drag and drop...and meanwhile the problem you are  
having does not happen on my computer, so saving the signs to your  
desktop might help...I don't know what else to say!

You can also right-click and choose Copy Image in the pull-down menu,  
and then use Paste in Word...have you tried that?...

Val ;-)
