I have researched this problem for a few days now. I have read every post on
this forum regarding this problem with inserted pictures/clip art not showing
up in the publisher workspace. I've tried all suggestions and the only thing
that works consistently is to lower my video card acceleration so the
directdraw and direct3D are disabled. This does allow the program to
function properly. However I can't leave that setting on since many other
programs need full acceleration to function properly. I have written to ATI
tech support as well but have had no response yet. I have the Radeon X800 XT
on a brand new Dell computer. I have the latest drivers which I downloaded
and installed from the ATI website.

Has anyone found any further solutions to this annoying problem?
Fortunately lowering the acceleration does work, but I use Publisher all the
time and having to constantly change the acceleration setting is cumbersome.

p.s. To lower your video hardware acceleration... right click on desktop,
click properties, settings tab, advanced button, troubleshoot tab and lower
until directdraw and direct3D are disabled.
