I have cleared the cookies from Google Chrome.

    That doesn't work for me because I watermark my whole document and put text over it.

    Using this fix you cover up the watermark when putting in the text.

    I don't think anyone can tell you anything beyond what's already in this thread, but thanks for the further input.

    I teach a Word class, and just had a student report this error when trying to insert a picture for a page background. Design tab>Page Background>Fill Effects>Picture>Select Picture>Browse for File.
