I'm trying to add an image to a generated html word document that is embedded in a classic ASP page. The code looks something like this:
<%
Response.ContentType = "application/msword"
%>
<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word">
...
<v:shape id="_x0000_s1030" type="#_x0000_t75" style='position:absolute;
left:0;text-align:left;margin-left:0;margin-top:17.95pt;width:7in;height:116.85pt;
z-index:2;mso-position-horizontal:center;mso-position-horizontal-relative:page;
mso-position-vertical-relative:page'>
<v:imagedata src="http://xxx/image001.gif" o:title="image001"/>
<w:wrap anchorx="page" anchory="page"/>
<w:anchorlock/>
</v:shape><![endif]--><![if !vml]><span style='mso-ignore:vglayout;position:
absolute;z-index:0;left:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-top:24px;width:672px;
height:156px'><img width=672 height=156
src="http://xxx/image001.gif" v:shapes="_x0000_s1030"></span><![endif]>
The image URL is correct and can be viewed through a browser, however when the word document opens, the image has a red x, with the error message:
The image cannot be displayed. Your computer may not have enough memory to open the image, or the image may be corrupted. Restart your computer, and then open the file again. If the red x still appears, you may have to delete the image and then insert it again.
If i copy the html code and try to open the word document on my local machine, it displays the image correctly. It just doesn't work when retrieving the document from the server. This happens for any images I try to add. Is there another way to add images to html-generated word documents that can be output from an asp page?
Thanks.
Update:
Something that I've noticed is that when copying the word doc code from the asp page, pasting it into a file and renaming it as a word doc, I get this prompt when opening it:
Some of the files in this Web page aren't in the expected location. Do you want to download them anyway? If you're sure the Web Page is from a trusted source, click Yes.
If I click Yes, the image displays fine, if I click No, I get the same error as I described above. I'm thinking that because the word doc is coming from an ASP page, it is defaulting the security setting to not display external items. I've tried adding the site URL (it is a local intranet site) to my trusted sites and as a trusted location in word, but still no luck.

Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Word Options. Click Advanced. Under Show document content, click to select the Show drawings and text boxes on screen check box. Click OK.
Select the text that you want to return to its default formatting. In Word: On the Edit menu, click Clear and then select Clear Formatting.
You could try removing the o:title tag. I've found that if that tag is there word tries to embed the image, but will only do so if it is in the proper location. By removing the o:title tag, word just treats it as a link.
