If Picture Placeholders isn't the problem the symptoms suggest some sort of
limitation to your system. RAM, processor type & graphics adapte can each
contribute to problems like the ones you describe in your original post.
You might try rt-clicking the Windows Desktop, select Properties & go to the
Settings page. Click the Advanced button & go to the Troubleshoot page. Back
the Hardware Accelleration slider down, Apply the change then take a look at
one of the problem docs in Word to see if that makes a difference - you may
have to try several changes to find the one that works best.
If this doesn't improve the situation, post back with more details about the
images (type & file size), Word & OS version, as well as system/video specs.

Graphics will not display, or display very slowly, or partially display
in
print layout mode. Printing is OK and so is Print Preview. Any ideas
out
there?
