You have to be in page layout view rather than NORMAL view to see pictures in a document - at least, that's been my experience with it.

This appears to be attributable to the graphics driver with recent ATI
display adapters and the Intel® 82915G/82910GL Express Chipset Family causing particular problems. In the case of the latter, the latest driver http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scri...ProductID=1764 appears to fix the problem. DON'T TRY TO USE THIS DRIVER WITH ANY OTHER CHIPSET/ADAPTER. There are drivers available also from ATI that correct this issue with some their adapter cards. If you have the problem with a different display adapter and are sure you are using the latest driver, then try reducing the display's hardware acceleration. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jay Freedman wrote: On Sat, 4 Jun 2005 08:06:02 -0700, ERS Craig ERS wrote: I open a document with photos insertent on them and when I page down and then back up the photo disappears.

Thanks for the advice that you posted it also solved my problem. My photos
started disappearing after loading Adobe Pro 6.0 (but not before). I have an Intel Graphics chipset that came with the PC and a Viewsonic VE710s flat screen. Will decreasing the hardware acceleration affect any other items on my PC and/or software/hardware. Thanks again for solving the "mystery" problem with the disappearing photos and logo jpeg files. -- Every once and a while you just gotta admit you have no idea what is going on Michael "Graham Mayor" wrote: This appears to be attributable to the graphics driver with recent ATI display adapters and the IntelĀ® 82915G/82910GL Express Chipset Family causing particular problems.

Disappearing photos on a word document
I'm having kind of the same problem but different? I have my photos stored
online in an album thru my ISP and they are set for public view. Yet when I post one in an online forum (kind of like this one) the picture shows for a whle but then later all anyone can see is an x which marks where the photo is supposed to be? Any connection? Any ideas? "Jay Freedman" wrote: On Sat, 4 Jun 2005 08:06:02 -0700, ERS Craig ERS wrote: I open a document with photos insertent on them and when I page down and then back up the photo disappears.

The "Red X" means "Word cannot find the picture file."
Why would that be? Could it be that your URL is linking to an IP address and your ISP dynamically changes your IP address each time you go online? Or is the online album changing the URL for the picture? Or is your antivirus program or firewall blocking the picture content? Basically, you need to embed those pictures in the Word document, and have the user download the whole document complete with its pictures.

Disappearing photos on a word document
The Word document and the link really is not an option because of the forum
that this is for. I used to be able to simply copy and paste the photos from my photo album, which is not online but on my hard drive. Suddenly I was no longer able to do that so I devised this alternative method which now does not seem to work either. I got one message that said my ms office file for office clips was damaged and to insert the original disk for repair, trouble is I can find every disk but this one, is there some way to repair this online without my disk and do you think that could be the problem? Thanks. "John McGhie [MVP - Word and Word Macinto" wrote: The "Red X" means "Word cannot find the picture file." Why would that be?

Disappearing photos on a word document
I used to address this problem simply by cut and paste of the picture and
that worked great. However, that does not work anymore "John McGhie [MVP - Word and Word Macinto" wrote: The "Red X" means "Word cannot find the picture file." Why would that be?

Disappearing photos on a word document
You kinda lost me, I understand the theory about what you are saying the
problem is, however I'm lost as to how to fix it. Why would it be that I used to be able to copy photos from my pictures directory to the web and that worked fine but now it doesn't. That's the best easiest way if I could figure what happened to this process? Any ideas? Thanks. "John McGhie [MVP - Word and Word Macinto" wrote: No. The Office Clip Manager or whatever they call it is not part of this problem. And I don't know of a way to repair this without the original disk. I had that error for a year or so, I just ignored it because I don't use the Office Clip Manager, I can look after my own pictures :-) Now, it's important for us to begin to distinguish between the various file formats that Word produces. Historically whenever we have seen a question about Microsoft Word, we have assumed that the file format is "Word.Document.8", a binary container. You are working in "Web Page" format, which is a far simpler format that can't do a lot of what a Word document can do. Word works around this by using a "combined" HTML and XML format. The results you get with that are pretty good in Internet Explorer 6, but all bets are off in any other browser. When working with a Word document, you don't have to think about what kinds of pictures you use or where they are. If you are working in the other formats, you have to know what your pictures are and exactly where they are, and it's your responsibility to make sure that the instructions for finding your pictures that you place in the file are correct :-) If you are working in HTML, you must first place the graphics onto the web server, and THEN link to them. Otherwise Word writes a "link" to your local hard drive, and that's probably your problem. You won't see the problem on your computer, because a link to "My Computer/My Drive/My Documents/My Pictures/ will work for YOU. For everyone else, your hard drive is (I hope!) inaccessible. So while they may have that folder on their computer, your pictures won't be in it :-) I think that's the problem. Open one of your files from the web and do a ViewSource. Look for the img tag that links to each picture, and tell me what you see there. It should be something such as: img border="0" src="../../Images/IconsAndLogos/MVPLogoWhiteBkrnd.gif" width="124" height="110" You see that "../../Images/... bit? That says that the MVPLogoWhiteBkrnd.gif picture is "two levels above this document" in a folder named "images". What you have to do is figure out where your images will be when they get uploaded to the web server, and make your links link to them there. The best way to do this is to use a proper web editor to publish them into that position. If you insist on using Word, you have to either put the images into their correct folder, then put the document into its correct folder, then open the document from the server and THEN put the links in from there; or you have to move the document and the images to the server, then ViewSource on the document and correct the links by hand. One shorthand method of doing this is to make sure that both the pictures and the document are in the "same" folder. If they are, then the path won't matter: Word will find the pictures anyway. To summarise: Whatever drive and path appears in the IMG tag must be correct for any user on any computer in the world.

Unless you show me where I can find a file that has the fault, I can't tell
you any more. I can only guess: you are going to have to open the source for one of those files and look to see what is wrong. Tell us that, and we have a chance of working out what to do about it.

You seem to be quite knowledgable so perhaps you can help me with my blank
graphics question. When I insert a jpg, a piece of clipart, or basically any graphical element into word, a blank box the size of the graphic appears. No matter what I try (printing, going to print preview, giving it time to load) NOTHING works to show the contents of that graphic. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling MS Office, and the problem persists. Any ideas? "Graham Mayor" wrote: This appears to be attributable to the graphics driver with recent ATI display adapters and the IntelĀ® 82915G/82910GL Express Chipset Family causing particular problems.

Slowing down the accelerator worked for me. I had to reduce it 3 notches. I
have an NVIDIA GeForce 6600 Video Card. Thanks for the help! This has plagued me for a long time!

Disappearing photos on a word document
I am also having this problem, which I've seen in several different threads
on here now. Mine is a little different. I have a document w/pictures that show up correctly. When I format a picture to change the layout to "in line with text" the picture disappears and is replaced w/ the box. When I try changing the layout back to "behind text," the box moves appropriatly, but the picture is gone. I also have another document where I can't get any pictures to show up. I made sure all the appropriate options were checked, I updated my graphics driver, and I decreased the hardware acceleration. None of this made a difference. I am running a Tablet PC w/ Windows XP for Tablet and have an Intel 82852/82855 GM/GML graphics card. Any thoughts?

Thanks for this, but I found the answer...and it's pretty simple. In Tools l
Options l View you need to ensure that Picture Placeholders is NOT selected. "Terry" wrote: You seem to be quite knowledgable so perhaps you can help me with my blank graphics question.

I lose links when Word closes (unexpectedly) and the recovered document does
not retain the links. I spend lots of time reinserting, closing, losing, and reinserting. How can I retain the links to my photos or (even better) how can I keep Word 07 from closing suddenly? -- Cay "ERS Craig" wrote: I open a document with photos insertent on them and when I page down and then back up the photo disappears.

Word 2007 is quite stable, so you need to identify what is causing it to
fall over regularly. Start with http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm then http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...artingWord.htm. The disappearing photos are probably related to the display driver.

I will check to see that all of these issues have been addressed. I agree, 07
is very stable on my two computers at home, but I have a lot of trouble when working on our network. I am the only one running 07 but the reason for the new computer and new Office 07 version was the frequent problems I had with Word. I have even connected to a different data jack without much improvement. I work with the same documents at home with no problems. Our tech guy has tested the network hubs and my latest diagnostic test was the new cable, all to no avail. Is it possible that my version of Word 07 has become corrupted becaue of all these problems? -- Cay "Graham Mayor" wrote: Word 2007 is quite stable, so you need to identify what is causing it to fall over regularly.
