2003; images missing from normal view

[Wowbagger]

I have a document with several images mixed in with the text. In print
preview, print layout, web layout and reading layout the images are seen, in
normal view they are not. Is this a corrupted document or something within
Word (2003)?

Thanks

That's the intended behavior. Normal view never shows anything from the
drawing layer.

As has been said before in these newsgroups, "Normal" is a misnomer for this
view; it should be called something like "Restricted view for really old,
lame computers" and Print Layout should be called "Normal".

Well, it's normal for me! I do almost all my composition in Normal view, as
it provides the most efficient view of plain text. If a document requires
complex formatting and layout, I'll switch to Print Layout, but most of what
I do does not require that.
