Can't see picture pasted in Word 03 w/out looking @ Prnt Preview
In Office 97 when I pasted a picture in Word, I would see the picture right
away. Since I upgraded to Office 2003, my inserted pictures appear as an empty box. When I click on them, then I only see the little black boxes that outline the picture. Occasionally I can get a camera-like icon to appear near the bottom right of the black boxes. When I click on that, the picture appears. Also the picture is viewable in Print Preview. This is very frustrating and tedious. Is there a way to get the picture to view upon insertion? |

Hi Sally,
If you turn off the 'picture placeholder' setting in Tools=Options=View do your pictures appear in Print Layout view? ======= "Sally745" wrote in message news In Office 97 when I pasted a picture in Word, I would see the picture right away.

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 | Troubleshooting. 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.

Thank you, I tried all of that, could it be that my driver is too old? I
have a newer one on my motherboard, but it just makes my monitor flash and is unreadable. I can open the same documents fine on my laptop, but on this desktop certain types of images just don't appear in documents, specifically photos and some others.

You seem to be confusing drivers with display adapters. Whichever display
adapter you use, you need to ensure that you have the latest driver software for it from the adapter / motherboard manufacturer. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Dwayne Dusky wrote: Thank you, I tried all of that, could it be that my driver is too old?
