Insert picture directly from scanner or camera

When I had Word set as my email editor, I had the option to directly insert a picture from a scanner or camera via the Insert menu. That option is now gone after I have switched to Outlook 2007.
Is there any way to get this functionality back?

The feature still exists although it quite a bit more hidden and only part of the Microsoft Clip Organizer now.

  1. Create a new message and select the Insert tab.
  2. Press the Clip Art button.
  3. In the Clip Art pane choose the Organize clips… link at the bottom.
  4. In the Microsoft Clip Organizer dialog that pops up, choose File-> Add Clips to Organizer-> From Scanner or Camera…
  5. In the dialog select the scanner that you want to use and the quality and then press the Insert button.
  6. When the scan has completed, close the Microsoft Clip Organizer dialog.
  7. Back in the Outlook message, type “scan” in the “Search for:” field of the Clip Art pane.
    (scanned imaged are automatically tagged with the word “scan”)
  8. Click on the scanned image to insert it.
