Default Unable to format pictures in a WORD document

Somehow I am unable to format any pictures I am trying to insert in a
document. It shows a blank box, but will PRINT the picture once I send to
print. I cannot crop, reduce or anything else and the text will not wrap
around the picture in the document, either. I have deleted temporary files
and cookies. Other suggestions?

The blank box is an indication that you have tools options view show
picture placeholders selected.

To view the picture, clear the check box for "Picture placeholders" on the
View tab of Tools | Options.

To wrap text around the picture change the text wrapping from In Line With
Text to Square or Tight.

In ToolsOptionsView, uncheck the box next to Picture Placeholders.
