The blank box is an indication that you have tools options view show
picture placeholders selected.

Somehow I am unable to format any pictures I am trying to insert in a
document. It shows a blank box, but will PRINT the picture once I
send to print. I cannot crop, reduce or anything else and the text
will not wrap around the picture in the document, either. I have
deleted temporary files and cookies. Other suggestions?
