....unless the file is being edited in Compatibility Mode. If you're editing
a Word 97-2003 file, in-line images are indeed shown in draft view!
I suspect this is more of the "new graphics engine" at work. For my own
part, I really wish the new engine had spent more time on the factory floor
before being rolled out into the fast lane (I'd better stop before I break
down from metaphor overload).

However in Word 2007, images are apparently not shown in draft view
whatever the wrap.

An inline image is one that has "text wrapping" set to In Line With
Text. A "wrapped" or "floating" image is one that has any other
wrapping style (Square, Tight, Behind Text, In Front of Text, etc.).
Inline images are in the text layer and can be displayed in Normal
view. Wrapped images are in the drawing layer, which is not displayed
in Normal view.

Are you referring to how the text wraps around the image? Please
explain what an inline vs wrapped image is.
I think the rules have changed from 2000 to 2007. Here's a little
test:
* Load a Word 2000 document
* Select Normal view
* Go to Excel
* Select a block of cells (4x5)
* Click Ctrl-C
* Go back to Word
* Click Ctrl-V
* Click on the Paste Options icon
* Select Paste as Picture
The picture is displayed.
* Click on the Office button
* Click Save as...
* Select Word (2007) document
The picture disappears. So it is not the same in 2000 and 2007.
Here's another oddity. If I now click on the Print Layout button, the
image is still not displayed. I just see a box where it should be.
But if I follow the exact same steps as above in a document that is
already in 2007 format, I see the complete image in Print Layout.
Still nothing at all in Draft Layout.
Please tell me what I need to do so that I can see the images in
Draft Layout.
