I am running into a strange problem that has appeared in Word 2007:
If I use draft view and insert a picture that is "in line with text", the
picture is:
-Visible if I save the document in .doc format.
-Invisible (rendered all white) when the document is in .docx format.
-Visible if I save in .docx but with "Maintain compatibility with Word
97-2003"

This cannot possibly be a "feature", right? It is still present in SP1.
Are other people having the same problem?

my problem is similar, but worse.
I can't see any picture (clip art, picture, embedded visio diagram) in any
format in neither .docx nor .doc files.
anyone has any idea?

Is "Word Options" "Advanced" "Show document content" "Show picture
placeholders" on In that case, try unticking it.

Did you ever get a solution to this problem? I am having the same issue. I
save the word document with our letterhead image as a docx document and the
image does not show. I save the same document as a doc document and the
image shows. Some things in Office 2007 are driving me crazy. Any help
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Russell

I got an official response from Microsoft that this is a bug they are aware
of. No word on when/if it will be fixed.

Go to Word Options Advanced then in Show document content unclick "show picture holders." in this way you will see the pictures.
