I recently purchased a Dell latitude 610 laptop running Windows XP
Professional. I installed Microsoft Office XP Professional Version 2002.
When I open a Word document that has a picture (JPEG) inserted in the
document, the picture does not display on the monitor, only an outline frame
appears. I can't move or edit the picture. If I right click on the picture
and open the Picture toolbar, most of the icons are grayed out. If I print
the document, however, the correct picture is printed. The picture also
shows up OK in the Print preview.

So far, I have uninstalled and re-installed Office. I have updated both
Windows XP and Office with the latest updates from Microsoft. I have gone
into Control Panel-Add/Remove Software-Microsoft Office XP - Change -
Add/Remove Features - Office Shared Features - Converters and Filters -
Graphic Filters and and set all of the filters to "Run all on my computer".
In Word Options-View-Show I have checked all of the boxes except Bookmarks.
The Picture Placeholders box is checked. The problem persists. Any
suggestions you have are appreciated.

The "picture placeholders" box should NOT be checked.

I had this problem in Word 2000 as well, and your solution is correct.
Uncheck the show picture placeholders in Tools, Options.
