Re: Pictures Keep Disappearing

Checking the "picture placeholders" option is one sure way to make your pictures disappear, so don't do that.

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.

Why is it that whenever i insert a picture into Word the picture will just disappear. I mean, the picture is still there but you cant see it until you move it. I've tried formatting the picture, checking and uncheck the picture placeholders option.

So basically, how can i make my pictures permanently visible in Word?

Thanks a lot
