I am getting the same behavior in Word 2003. Safe mode removes the problem.

But there's nothing disabled when in safe mode.

And there's no add-ins or templates running on startup.

Any other suggestions to resolve this?

Thanks

Hi GKnight,

You still haven't reported whether things behave any differently if Word is
started in Safe Mode?

If you're using PROFILES (apparently so), then that still doesn't rule out an
Addin. In this case, it would be something specific to the user profile, is
all. You might start by checking what's in his/her STARTUP folder for Word.

It is in Word 2003, it isn't anything to do with the machine as I have tried
this particular user on other computers.

However if another user opens the same word document it doesn't appear.

You cannot delete the sp tag without the picture box being removed. It
also comes out on the printouts.
