I have a document in which I inserted two different pictures (JPG photos). With one of them I can work with Picture Styles, but the other does not offer me this option.. when I right click on the image, the picture Style icon is greyed out (not selectable.)
Another post suggested opening the image in Paint and re-saving it - I did this, and it made no difference.
I also tried putting the images into a new blank document, and got the same result with this one photo. In the attached image, you can see the Style option is not available.
What can cause the styles not to work with an image, and how can I fix it?
EDIT:: Ok, I think I figured this out, although why, I am not sure. It seems if a photo is copy/pasted into a document, or if a picture is added to the document using the INSERT menu option, the Picture Styles menu is available, both from right clicking on the image, as well as in the Picture::Format ribbon. HOWEVER, if a picture is dragged from the desktop and into the document, the Picture Styles option is NOT available.. Same thing for both 2010 and 2013 versions of Word. Not sure if this is by design or a bug. Anyone?
