What I'm able to see in Word 12.2.3 is that by clicking on the "View" menu,
then selecting "Object Palette" under the "Toolbox" subhead, the Object
Palette comes up. One then has to click on the rightmost tab in that
palette. That particular tab is called "Photos". One then must choose "Other
Library or Folder..." from the pulldown menu right below the tab bar, then
click the "Show image folders" radio button" in the ensuing dialog box and
select the folder inside which the desired images reside. Considerably more
complex than what you describe.
Is that the tool that you meant?

In my case (using the tool I'm describing above) the thumbnails DO show
differences depending on whether the image has an embedded profile or not.

Confirmed. I still doubt that it's "color-managed" in a truly ICC-compliant
way (the way Photoshop is, for example), but there's indeed a perceivable
difference on screen between tagged and untagged images when they are
inserted into a Word 12.2.3 document in this fashion.

Confirmed. I see that too.
I still don't think that this reflects a true ICC-color-managed workflow. I
think it's a kludge of some kind. I say that because there is still a
visible difference between the way a tagged image appears in Word and how it
appears in Photoshop. Of course the way it appears in Photoshop should be
how it appears in Word if Word were truly color-managed -- but it DOESN'T.
Also, this way of inserting images in Word is a hell of a workaround to get
images to look somewhat more "correct" (but they still do NOT look correct).
Thank you for pointing out this particular procedure, Peter.
