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?

    I have had Publisher for a number of years now and never have had a problem with adding or changing pictures. I now continually get this message:

    HTTP Error 400. The size of the request headers is too long.

    I've tried several avenues that was suggested by Microsoft and it's not working. Very frustrated as I frequently use this program to do up posts of animals for my local Humane Society and am currently at a standstill.

    Help!
