For some reason (no matter how I attach a file within Word 2007), I can not
see the actual picture, I can see some of the text description and if I click
around it I can see the dotted lines around the object (& can even open the
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).

It sounds like you are having trouble with embedded objects not displaying properly in Word 2007. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Check your display settings: Sometimes, objects may not display properly if your display settings are not configured correctly. Try adjusting your display settings to see if that resolves the issue. You can do this by going to Control Panel Display Screen Resolution and adjusting the settings as needed.
   
2. Update your graphics driver: Outdated graphics drivers can sometimes cause issues with displaying objects in Word. Try updating your graphics driver to see if that resolves the issue. You can usually do this by going to the manufacturer's website and downloading the latest driver for your graphics card.
   
3. Check your document compatibility: Sometimes, objects may not display properly if the document was created in an earlier version of Word. Try saving the document in a different format (such as .docx) and see if that resolves the issue.
   
4. Try copying and pasting the object: Instead of embedding the object, try copying and pasting it into your document. This may help resolve any issues with the object not displaying properly.
   
5. Check your security settings: If your security settings are set too high, it may prevent objects from displaying properly. Try adjusting your security settings to see if that resolves the issue.

I hope these troubleshooting steps help you resolve the issue with embedded objects not displaying properly in Word 2007. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns!

Click the Office button and then click Word Options. In the Advanced

Hi Amy,
I just found the solution on another forum as I was having the same problem. I am excited to find the solution.
It is:

On the Home tab of the Ribbon, locate the Paragraph group and click the dialog launcher arrow in the bottom right corner to open the Paragraph dialog; in that dialog, make sure that line spacing of the paragraph the picture is in is not set to an Exact value.

Hope that solves your problem too!

Good point: fixed line spacing is another common cause for inline graphics
not being visible in Word.

For future reference, you may want to avoid changing the subject line. Not
everyone sorts messages by conversation/thread, so they may depend on the
subject to keep track of messages within a thread.

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.
