Solve disabled insert picture from SharePoint option in SharePoint 2010

A couple of days ago I created a Wiki Page Library on a site created with the blank template. When I tried to insert an image into the wiki page – the “insert from SharePoint” option was greyed out. Luckily this was quite easy to solve by activating the SharePoint Server Publishing feature (Site level).

This will only work for wiki pages though – I noticed that when you use a field of type “Multiple lines of text (Enhanced rich text (Rich text with pictures, tables, and hyperlinks)” you will notice that although you see the Insert Picture option – the “Insert from SharePoint”  is still greyed out even when activating the SharePoint Server Publishing feature (Site level).

You can use a 'Publishing HTML field' to work around the issue with the 'Enriched multiple lines of text field'.
