On Windows, we can do Insert tab Object Object then choose 'Picture' and we can edit the picture in Paint/Paintbrush. This is great, I would like the same thing on Word for Mac. On Mac, 'Picture' doesn't appear, and if I double click on a picture that was inserted that way in Word for Windows, it says 'The server application, source file or item cannot be found.
Make sure the application is properly installed, and that it has not been deleted, moved, or renamed' Is there a way to solve this and tell Word for Mac what the 'Paint' application is? Hi Benjamin, Based on your description, I found if you used the feature in Office for Windows it's based on the application Paint. I think Office need to call the application to work with this feature. But for MAC, I didn't find any paint as the default program.
I suggest you try to install a paint and check if this feature can work with the new paint. If you still cannot use this feature in MAC, I think this is a by design behavior for MAC. Hope my reply is helpful.
I’m using Mac Word 2011. To resize an image, first select it, then select “Format Picture” on the Command Ribbon, and use the “Compress” function that appears. This allows you to compress either the picture you’ve selected or all images in your document.
