I tried this and it did not work. I get the blank box with the white
circles around the box (4 corners). I can insert pictures using the
templates but when I tried using a blank document it gives me the
blank box. Did I explain it better?

Searching the newsgroup for "pictures" reveals the following post from me

Try View > Pictures > Detailed Display.
If this fails, this is almost certainly a problem with your video driver.
By going to Display Properties > Settings > Advanced > Troubleshoot, and
dragging the Hardware Acceleration slider down three notches, you will be
able to disable Publisher from making the calls on the video driver that
cause this problem.
If this does fix your problem, it means that the problem does indeed lie
with the video driver. You can leave your computer running at this lower
hardware acceleration, but it may cause problems with other programs. It is
a better solution to try and find a driver update for your graphics card.
Normally, the latest drivers from the video card manufacturer will do the
trick, but ATI (and recently Intel and Dell) tend to be slower in perfecting
their drivers, so some newer ATI and Intel cards to not yet have drivers
available that do not exhibit this behaviour. The solution here is to nag
ATI/Intel/Dell for better drivers.
(Please note that even if your computer is brand new, you won't necessarily
have the latest drivers)
