Default Images Fail to Appear

Dear All,

Working in Office 2003 on a W2K workstation. I have some software
documentation that used screeen shots that were cut and pasted into the
document, moved, resized, etc.

Now, and I think this is since an upgrade from Office 2000 to Office 2003,
when I repoen the document I see boudary boxes where the images are located,
but not the images. I can see them in printpreview and the will print
properly.

In options, I have all my viewable items checked.

Any idea what I might need to do to be able to see the images when in *my*
"normal" view which is print layout?

Sincerely,

Ridge (in New Joisey)

A few things to try:
1. In Word, if you're working in Normal view, 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 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 | 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. Clearing the "Picture Placeholders" checkbox in OptionsView did
the trick. Odd though, when I'm working in other documents with same
setting checked, the pictures appear. (Print Proview also worked.

I appreciate the assistance.

Sincerely,

Ridge

As Garfield implied, "Picture placeholders" affects only inline graphics;
graphics in the drawing layer are affected by "Drawings."
