While you work in docx format you will not be able to show in-line graphics
in draft view, as you can with Word 2003, because of the underlying
structure of the new XML document format. The simple answer is to save the
document as Word 97-2003 format and then it works exactly as in 2003.

I've changed over to using Office 2007 (clean install after removing
Office 20023) and have a strange problem with Word 2007. I very
often convert PDF files to Docx format and need to be able to paste
images, that I cut from the PDF, into the resulting word document.
i've been able to do this successfully in Word 2003 with no problems.
However, in Word 2007 images that I paste into the document will not
display in "draft view", only "print layout". This is a major
hassle as I type notes into the document (I'm a college student)
during lectures and having to deal with viewing pages with margins
makes navigating the document difficult if not impossible.
Note: this isn't an issue where word is only showing the place
holders or image outlines. These are both settings under Word's
options... these options are set to display images, not placeholders
of outlines... Word 2007 will not diplay anything what so ever when I
am working in Docx format. When I save the document into
"compatibility mode" for Word 2003, then I can view the images.
Does anyone in the world of Word MVPs or anyone at Microsoft have a
solution for this? It's such a hassle that i may as well just stick
with Word 2003 and sell Office 2007 as it offers me no advantage if I
have to continually work in 2003 format.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
