Office Pro? Do you mean XP Pro? If that is the case then there are plenty of exif tools out there. Exiftools is one that I have used.

Exif in a web page... Maybe
http://ted.mielczarek.org/code/mozilla/fxif/
http://ak.no-ip.com/EXIF/index_en.htm
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/firefox/firefox.htm
http://www.opanda.com/en/iexif/index.html --> This one looks good

I have not used any of these myself.

Cheers

Do you mean Microsoft XP Pro? I'm not sure about viewing exif data in an Office application like Word, for example. I don't think it's possible.
You can view exif data (if it is present) on pictures in your web browser with an exif viewing program.
Most on this site seem to use Opanda IExif, which you can find here.

Trevor I got a message that the setup files are corrupted from that link. Do you know of another source?

Hi John
I can only suggest that you try the Opanda home page, and drill down from there:

http://www.opanda.com/

Wait!
I just found it also on the old standby for free software, Tucows. If you go to this page and search for "IExif" you can download it.

awesome! my Sony on the office, your right its XP haha, but thank you everyone! i was wondering because i notice on the image reviews and critques sometimes people would say im glad you kept the image data on the image and i was wondering how to view it, i tried right clicking on the file and looking at properties i sometimes see thigns in there, or randomly when i leave my cursor over one of my files it will tell me what lens exposure and all i used but i cant seem to get it to do that anymore! Thanks
