How to keep pictures visible once they are inserted in Word XP

[selfteacher]

I am having problems in Word XP that I have not been able to solve. I had
Word XP installed from Microsoft Works Suite 2004. I had no problems when I
inserted pictures into the program to work on. This program came with
Microsoft Works Suite 2005. Everytime I insert a picture into athe document
it disappears. Ihave the program set to Print Layout View as I read from a
book that Word can only disiplay pictures in Print Layout and Web Layout
views. Half of the time when I go to insert it does not even appear on page.
It also is suppose to be in Clipboard to be pasted into document. I would
appreciate any input that is available for this problem.
Thank you

Try Tools | Options | View Tab | Uncheck Picture Placeholders

Make sure Word is open before you copy to the clipboard.
