Graphics are not displayed in Microsoft Word

[Tam]

Hi, I am using Microsoft Office Word 2003.

When I insert a graphic (in any format), I cannot see it, but it does print
on my hardcopies. I have switched views from normal, to print laytout, to
web layout, to reading layout and it does not appear. Also when I "print
preview" it does not appear. Most of my pictures are jpegs, but I also
occasionally use eps and tif (same thing happens).

Under my "view" options, everything is checked under "show." And under
"print and layout options," everything is checked except "background color
and images (print view only)."

Please let me know what I can do to see the pictures I am inserting into my
Word documents. Thanks.

Clear the 'Picture placeholders' checkbox under Tools > Options.

Yes, this worked for the jpg, but not for the eps. Is there something
different I should do to display eps files?

I've never managed to get Word to display EPS files at all.

EPS files won't display unless they were created with a TIFF preview.
