    Yes this is the solution that was mentioned earlier in this thread. I did this and it worked for me too.

    John Petrulich,

    Thank you so much! I have been searching and searching for a solution to the Error 400 message.

    I have not had problems with watermarks (which I never use), but with inserting images into shapes for creating artwork and flyers, etc on Microsoft Word. I rarely, if ever, use images from the web, only those I have saved on my computer--many of which are original artwork. The error 400 message was preventing me from being able to pull in my own images from offline. I tried clearing the cookies, and browsing history, etc, which didn't work. It didn't, and still doesn't, make sense to me that a problem with cookies on Chrome would interfere with offline work.

    The ability to work offline again is a life saver. You have restored my ability to conveniently insert images into shapes again, saving me time and trouble, and I am so grateful!

    Thanks again so much!

    Hi Ms. Barnhill:

    Thank you so much for your input. My Watermark issue on MS word actually resolved itself about one week after I posted the problem above. I have no problem inserting watermark since then.

    Thank you kindly,

    Angie
