When trying to insert a picture or other graphic into Office 2003's Word,
only the picture's "placeholders" (the so-called "handles") are visible. How
do I get the pictures to show and stay?

In Word, click on Tools | Options | View | check the "Drawings" box and
uncheck the "Picture placeholders" box | Print | check the "Drawing
objects" box | OK.

If the previous suggestion doesn't fix the problem, then try reducing
the hardware acceleration setting in Start | Control Panel | Display |
Advanced | Troubleshooting.
