I have cleared the cookies from Google Chrome.

    Hi Suzanne, I don't have any cookies for office.net. I do have office.com, but nowhere do I see insertmedia.bing.office.net.

    The 400 error continues when I follow that link on Edge, even after reloading several times.

    To access the list of sites with cookies, paste edge://settings/siteData in the address bar in Edge and press Enter.

    Sorry, i should have made that clearer, yes i have Edge installed, but as i have never used it (as most folk don't), can you please explain the steps on how to use Edge to delete said cookies, as when i look i cannot see them

    Thanks Suzanne.

    I get this HTTP error in both word & outlook when trying to define a new bullet:

    ... Bullet Library > Define New Bullet > Picture (before options to browse or bing search) = http error

    also in word:

    Design > Watermark > Custom Watermark > Picture Watermark > Select Picture = http error

    Insert > Pictures > Online Pictures = works fine
