Hi All,

I have a strange situation going on when clipart is inserted into a Word XP
document. In Normal and Print Layout views, instead of the clip all that
appears is an empty outlined box. The clipart does appear in Print Preview.
I have discovered that right-clicking on the empty box in Normal or Print
Layout views and then choosing Edit Picture, the actual clipart does
appear--but surrounded by a drawing canvas. I use this software on a number
of other computers, and this one machine where this occurs. Does anyone have
any suggestions as to what's causing this and how to solve the problem?

Many thanks in advance for any and all ideas.

Bart

Mr. Bad,

ToolsOptionsView and uncheck "Picture Placeholders"
