Might look into a video/graphics driver update or reduce the resolution of the
image.
Read the third FAQ here, it is Publisher specific but it is Word relevant.

We have a document that was created in Word 2003. The images were fine in
2003, but when I open up the document in Word 2007 the images appear as black
boxes or 3/4s of the image shows up as a black box. It is movable and can be
resized, so it act just like an image. Any ideas?
