Help! Image disappears when you click on it in Excel, with the message "Picture" appearing instead

Copper Contributor

Hi.

 

I have a spreadsheet with 200 rows that contains one image in each row of column A. I inserted these images by Insert > Picture > Place Over Cell (then I rotated it as neccessary) > then I clicked the little icon on the top right of the image which puts the image in the cell. However, the problem I have is when you click the image, it dissapears and the text "Picture" appears within the cell and the only way to make the image to come back (to my knowledge) is to Undo. Does anyone know why the image dissapears when I check on an image in the cell? Images attached a reference. Any help would be really appreciated as a lot of time and effort has gone into compiling this document.

 

Is the document corrupt, too many images?

 

Many thanks. Paul:cry:
