"Drawings" box and uncheck the "Picture placeholders" box | Print

I am using office 2003 with office SP2 When i open some documents in word
2003 i can not see it in the main word area but if I do a print pre-view I
can see the document and it will print. But since i can't see it i can not
edit it. I have reinstalled the software and have done the auto fix on the
web site but the problem is still not fixed Never had this happen before.
