how do i insert a jpg file into a word template?

[janylaw]

I downloaded a report tempolate and then cut and pasted the text into place,
thinking that inserting pictures would be as easy. Now, whenever I attempt
to insert a picture file into this template, it virtually disappears. I can
see the frame around the picture, but only the bottom of the picture
actually appears. When I try to re-size it in hopes of it appearing, it will
move from the insertion point. I have tried many things and nothing helps.
I really like this template, but I need to be able to insert photos - jpg,
tiff - whatever. I need to do this pretty quickly - working on a deadline.

If the problem is not merely that you have tools > options > view > picture
placeholders checked, this appears to be attributable to the graphics driver
with recent ATI display adapters and the Intel® 82915G/82910GL Express
Chipset Family causing particular problems.

In the case of the latter, the latest driver
http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scr...543/a08/win2k_xp1411.exe&agr=N&ProductID=1764
appears to fix the problem. DON'T TRY TO USE THIS DRIVER WITH ANY OTHER
CHIPSET/ADAPTER.

If you have the problem with a different display adapter and are sure you
are using the latest driver, then try reducing the display's hardware
acceleration.
