Images won't display in Nromal view

[Grubby Office Lad]

I've copied and pasted images from a Web page into a Word 2003 document. While they appear in Print view, they disappear in Normal view. Bug? Known issue? Workaround? Thanks --

Hi, GOL. The behavior you're seeing is by design.

Normal view is for typing, editing, and formatting text. Normal view
shows text formatting but simplifies the layout of the page so that you
can type and edit quickly. In normal view, page boundaries, headers and
footers, backgrounds, drawing objects, and pictures that do not have the
"inline with text" wrapping style do not appear.

Print Layout view shows how text, graphics, and other elements will be
positioned on the printed page. This view is useful for editing headers
and footers, for adjusting margins, and for working with columns and
drawing objects.

Thanks; I do understand this. Is there, however, a workaround? I need to send a doc via e-mail and can't be sure recipient will be sure to view doc in Print view so as not to miss images.

Thanks --

A few ideas:
1. You can format all the objects as inline with text if that doesn't
mess up the layout.
2. You can convert the Word doc to Acrobat format and send the Acrobat
version.
3. You might try adding an AutoOpen macro to the document to make it
open in Print Layout view, but if security is set to High on the
recipient's computer, the macro won't run.
4. When you email the Word doc, include a note in the email telling the
recipient to use Print Layout view.

Generally speaking, if you save the document in Print Layout view, it will
open in Print Layout view, even on another computer. This was pretty
dependable up through Word 97. With the introduction of SDI, it gets iffier
but is still generally reliable.
