Dear all,



I would like to ask for your help. I am translating a manual and it conatains a lot of pictures that need to be \"grouped\" so that I can translate the texts inside it. I know the procedure. The problem is that I cannot select the picture to work with.The option is not highlighted.

Any clue?



Thank you very much!



Maria

Please be more specific... Feb 19, 2003

...including:



- Which software are you working in (if it\'s Word - which version, including which language)?



- What kind of image are you trying to edit (Word graphics or embedded PowerPoint slides, for example)?



Thanks, Ralf

Hello Ralf,



I am using Word 2000 (Dutch). It\'s a Word file (a manual with a lot of pictures and graphics to be edited).



Many thanks!

ungroup Feb 19, 2003

Ralf is right: you should specify which software you are using.

In most cases, however, you have to *ungroup* the embedded object to have access to individual text boxes. After translation you will need to *Regroup* the individual items into a Group.
