When a document contains a lot of graphics and processing power is limited,
Word will automatically enable picture placeholders (Tools | Options |
View). You can disable this, but don't be surprised if it gets turned on
again.

Hi there,
I have a document with ~100 pages, 60 graphics, and I start loosing
images.
Instead of the image a clear square of 1" is displayed.

Is there a way to recover the images? How do I proceed in the future?

Thanks for any help,
Thorsten
