Have been inserting jpegs into word tables for years. Suddenly the picture
doesn't display in normal or print mode. Instead I get an border. If I
click inside of the border the drag handles appear but they are not active.
It's a pain I can live with as the pictures do print however, I can't size
them. What have I messed up?

Hi Joe,

You might want to check if you have the option "Show picture placeholders"
enabled?

Its help text indicates "Display an empty box in place of each graphic in
the document to improve scrolling performance.

You can check for this option by doing the following (in Word 2007).

- Right click the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) and select "Customize Quick
Access Toolbar"

- Select Advanced

- Scroll down to the heading "Show document contrents"

- You'll find the "Show picture placeholders" check box there.
