"Stumbling across" is pretty much what you have to do in Word Options. I
have no clue why "Show document content" is not in the Display Options (or
why the print options are).

Suzanne! Thank you, thank you. I'd actually thought of that but didn't
manage
to stumble across the right options in Word Options.
Very much obliged.

The outlines may just indicate that you've got "Picture placeholders"

I'm getting intermittent problems when I try to save my Word 7 docx to
Word
97-2003 .doc. Sometimes my equations are preserved as images, but
sometimes I
only get rectangular outlines where the images should be. Any idea why
this
would fail to work as advertised?
thanks
Chuck
