When I try to hit the pictures icon on publisher in the "Home" header to add a picture to something the window comes up saying:
"Bad Request- Request too Long. Http Error 400. the size of the request headers is too long."
If I go to insert at the top of the page and click picture there it will work for uploading pictures from my computer.
I made sure office is updated but not sure how to fix this.
Help please?

    Keeping my fingers crossed.

    I was experiencing the same issue. I do a lot of mailings for real estate agents and find it time-consuming not being able to swap the photos out anymore. After reading everyone's responses, I just tried to update Office 365, with my last resort being to talk with tech support. The update itself did nothing (File -> Account -> Update Options (on the right side of screen) -> Update Now). However, on one of my templates, I clicked "Compress Pictures" ONCE on ONE template/file and now "Change Picture" is working on every single template/file I've created. I'd say it's worth a shot since it worked for me. I have no clue if the update had anything to do with that, but these were just the steps I took. But it's working for me now :) Hooray!

    First MS tech told me to uninstall & reinstall Publisher - - - which did nothing.

    Second MS tech actually went into my computer, probably checked &/or deleted some files and then updated Publisher. That worked.

    So, although you could try both, I'd strongly recommend getting MS tech support to help you.
