When you open the file(s) the pictures in the document do not display. Now
if you click on the document where the picture(s) is located it highlights
or
places a resize box around the image, but still no image displays. I tried
to
re-image the machine with no luck. Heres what I have found, the machine
has
Adobe writer and a Dymo label printer and both have add-ins for word. If I
take those .dot add-ins out of the Office startup folder the files open
fine
and display the picture(s). When you do allow the add-ins to start and the
picture(s) do not display you can go into any option in word and change it
then click ok and the pictures show up. Its like you are just refreshing
word
and they show up. But as soon as you open the file again the pictures do
not
show again. I have tried unchecking the picture placeholders option many
people talk about with no results. The only real way to make them show is
to
remove all the .dot add-ins from the Office startup folder. Very strange
issue that has stumped me. Thanks to anybody with answers!
