Change Picture In Offline Mode

Hi All,

I've found that in Word 2013 Change Picture insists on having Internet access. And it's a pain, there are many reasons why we do not want Word charging off to the Internet at the merest hint of a request.

To test, try creating a document and populating it with a jpeg (or similar) from a local source.

Use Change Picture and see the result. You have to dive down to the Work Offline to get a local image.

Then try Unchecking the "Allow Office to connect to the Internet", under Options -> Trust Center -> Trust center Settings -> Privacy Options.

Repeat, this time you get a pop up saying this feature needs the Internet.

Now, MS and others may think that the Internet and Cloud is the be all and end all, but why forcing a feature such as Change Picture needs the Internet is beyond me.

Has anyone found a way to make this behave a bit more rationally?
