After trying the solutions listed in the responses with no results, a coworker suggested modifying the image layout which made the entire image visible.
To do this, click the icon so that the dotted box is visible, then right-click it and choose Format Object from the context (pop-up) menu. From the Format Object dialog, select the Layout tab, then select "In front of text". Click OK and your embedded file icon and filename should now be visible.
I confirmed the above on Word 2007, but the layout functionality is the same for more or less recent versions.

file), but I can not see the picture.
I have tried via
1. the Insert/Object/Create from File/Display as Icon
2. the opening of the file I want to embed, Selected All/Ctrl-C, then Paste
Special within the document/selected the MS Word Object & Display as Icon
3. I try to change the shape of the object, but then I can no longer see any
text
Any assistance would be appreciated (the MS Office Online Help was of
absolutely no help).
