when i paste a picture into a word document, it shows up as a blank box. The
only way I can see whats there is to VIEW in READING MODE. Normal mode just
shows a box outline.

Go to Tools | Options. Make sure Picture Placeholders is not checked on the
view tab.

A few things to try:
1. In Word, if you're working in Normal view, then switch to
Print Layout view (View | Print Layout), because objects that are
formatted as "float over text" (Word 97) or as something other
than "inline with text" (Word 2000, 2002, and 2003) are not
visible in Normal view.
2. In Word, click on Tools | Options | View tab | check the
"Drawings" box and uncheck the "Picture placeholders" box | Print
tab | check the "Drawing objects" box | OK.
3. If neither of the previous suggestions fixes the problem,
then try reducing the hardware acceleration setting in Start |
Control Panel | Display | Settings | Advanced | Troubleshoot. If
this fixes the problem, then you might want to check the website
of the manufacturer of your video card/graphics adapter to see if
there is an updated driver available.

I tried all the suggestions to no avail.
1. using Word 2003. Switching to Print Layout yielded no difference. Still
have a box outline that's empty inside.
2. Selected the "Drawings" box and unchecked the "Picture placeholders" box.
Now I have blank real estate with nothing there.
3. Reduced the hardware acceleration setting to all the lower =lowest
settings. no change.

Any more ideas?

Is this an eps image? Some eps images do not have a display graphic.
