I realized I didn't provide sufficient information. So, here goes...I'm using
MS Office 2003 and Windows XP. The document was created by first writing
text, then creating a grouped combination of photos, text boxes and arrows in
PowerPoint. After grouping, I did a copy, then pasted it into the Word
document. Now, when I open that document, I find the text boxes but no photos
and no arrows. When I move the cursor across the field, it changes indicating
that it is above an object. If I click it, the photo shows up. When I scroll
to a different page and come back, it is gone again. When I look at print
preview, it is gone. When I email it to another system, it comes through
intact including the graphics. I am viewing it in print layout the whole time.

I think the hardware acceleration suggestion I offered to your
original post might be the solution.
