Cannot see or edit (resize) Picture File Inserted into Documents

[Jon Paradiso]

I am not sure what had changed (likely some box I unwittingly checked), but I
am unable to see or edit image files (in this case a JPEG) when I use the
Edit/Insert/Picture/From File... command in Word documents. I normally work
in the Print Layout view, but the image remains hidden and unselectable in
every View but the Reading Layout view. In the Reading Layout view I can see
the image file but not select it.

Thanks in advance for any guidance anyone could offer.

Hi Jon-

Take a look at Tools>Options--View, see if you need to replace the check for
'Drawings' (Print & Web Layout Options) and/or remove the check for Picture
Placeholders (Show).
