the link image are not displayed in outlook 2013

Hello, in outlook 2013 the linked images in a message are not displayed it shows instead x and the text. is anything i can do to fix this error

In Outlook 2007 this behaviour is set by default but can be changed. Perhaps it is the same with Outlook 2013.

• In Outlook 2007 this behaviour can be unset at Tools, Trust centre, Automatic download.
• In Outlook 2016 this behaviour can be unset at Outlook options, Trust centre, Automatic download.
• In Outlook 2013 I would expect the relevant setting to be in a similar location to one of these, probably close to that of Outlook 2016.

thank you for the reply
in Trust Center > automatic download, the box for "don't download pictures automatically in HTML..." is not ticked so no is not working for me

All I can suggest is that you take one or more of these actions

1 run Office Diagnostics [look in Outlook Help for that, I do not know where it is in Outlook 2013],

2 download & run the Office Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT),

3 search for info in the MSAnswers forum section for Outlook 2013. The search facility in that forum is terrible and you cannot trust posts by anybody with a Microsoft label under their name. If you create a question of your own there I suggest giving it the title Pictures in emails are not displayed in Outlook 2013 and make it clear in your question description that you have already checked that Trust centre, Automatic download setting.

Best of luck,
Denis

1 Apparently, you need to use Repair an Office application rather than 'Office diagnostics'. Denis
