Re: can't see pictures within document

I was having the same problem, all of the sudden. "Picture Placeholders" was
aslo the cause in my case.

I am using Word 2007. To find this setting in 2007:

1. Click the "Office Button" (upper-left of the window)
2. Click "Word Options" at the bottom of the menu.
3. Select "Advanced" in the left pane of options.
4. Scroll down to "Show document content"
5. "Show picture placeholders" is the third checkbox. Uncheck it.

Thank you to both of you. I also was having the problem, "Picture
placeholders", “Drawing objects" combination that was preventing me from
seeing pictures....

Sure wish Microsoft Word "Help" was a little better on troubleshooting. If
I hadn't had internet access (and I don't always), I'd have been....well, in
trouble.

Thank You.

A few things to try:
1. In Word, if you're working in Normal view, then switch to
Print Layout view (View | Print Layout), because objects that are
formatted as "float over text" (Word 97) or as something other
than "inline with text" (Word 2000, 2002, and 2003) are not
visible in Normal view.
2. In Word, click on Tools | Options | View tab | check the
"Drawings" box and uncheck the "Picture placeholders" box | Print
tab | check the "Drawing objects" box | OK.
3. If neither of the previous suggestions fixes the problem,
then try reducing the hardware acceleration setting in Start |
Control Panel | Display | Settings | Advanced | Troubleshooting.
If this fixes the problem, then you might want to check the
website of the manufacturer of your video card/graphics adapter
to see if there is an updated driver available.
