Office 2010 was the last version of Office that included Picture Manager, and Microsoft has not updated Picture Manager since Office 2003. As a result, the program is ancient and out-of-date. But if you liked Picture Manager, and its features are all you need, you can install it on your computer without uninstalling your current version of Office. You can install Picture Manager from an Office 2010, 2007, or 2003 installation disc if you have one. If not, you can download SharePoint Designer 2010 and install it from there. We’ll show you where you can download SharePoint Designer 2010 and how to install only Picture Manager from it.
