Recently, i created a word document on my mac, added pictures ect.. Then saved it onto a flash stick. Then i brought it into school to print it out, but when i loaded it up in Word, all the images had been replaced with text saying "Quicktime not supported" Is there a way to stop it rendering them with quicktime? and use whatever PC's use? My school are on windows 98 i think.
 
Instead of dragging and dropping pictures in the Word document, you need to use the Insert >Picture >From File command.

Don't know why MS does this, it is a real pain.

Other ways are print to pdf, then use the pdf on your school computer.

Ah! Theres the problem, thats a pain.
Anyway, thanks!
 
Just copy and paste the image into the Word document. Seems to work fine for me. That way you don't have to transfer the files along with the Word doc.

I do the same exact thing when I have to transfer a file to another PC on campus, and it works like a charm.
