I just got a new computer from my employer with Microsoft Word Pro Plus 2016 installed. I noticed that the "Change Picture..." options have changed since my previous version of Word.
The change:
Right click image > "Change Picture..." (top picture is old; bottom is new)
2 Issues:
- Instead of a simple sub-menu appearing to the side of the right-click menu, now I get an annoying pop-up window -_-
- Total loss of the option to change picture from the clipboard (i.e., the "From Clipboard..." option seen in the old version):
Question:
Is there a way to revert back to the old style? If not, how do I go about changing my picture to my clipboard item in this new build?
This Microsoft Forum post from 01/2018 on this very issue has not been adequately answered :(.
Build Details:
- Old: Microsoft Word 2016 MSO (16.0.10325.20082) 32-bit [on Windows 7]
- New: Microsoft Word 2016 MSO (16.0.4639.1000) 64-bit [on Windows 10]

I looked in the commands list. There no longer appears to be a "Change Picture >" drop down command, but simply the "Change Picture..." pop-up command. Is there a way to create the old command myself? How do I get the vba code for built-in Word commands to emulate it as a new command? though, even if I did this, could I add it as a drop-down menu item when I right-click images??? – theforestecologist – 2018-09-01T14:49:21.400
1The handling of pictures in general seems to have been royally undone in Office 2016, and not only in the latest version. – harrymc – 2018-09-01T15:26:11.967
