In Word, switch to Print Layout view if you're not already in it, and
click on Tools | Options | View | check the "Drawings" box and uncheck
the "Picture placeholders" box | Print | check the "Drawing objects" box
| OK.

Thanks for the suggestion. It fixed the problem.

I am having the same problem, but using these settings under Tools - Options
does not fix the problem. Sometimes pictures show up, sometimes they don't.
It seems to be random. The same problem occurs in in print preview, but
pictures always print just fine, I just can't always see them on screen.

I am having exactly the same problem too. It appears to be kind of display
refresh problem, because as soon as I eg. minimize or maximize the word
window or for example open the picture tool box, the pictures refresh
themself. But as soon as I scroll the text to the next page and back, they
have dissapeared! I think this is a Microsoft specific problem - not hardware
problem, because I have seen same symptoms in several machines? Does anyone
know how to fix the problem?

Yes, me too. It used to work fine but I'm not sure when the problem started;
prints out fine, can't view properly no matter what view is selected,
although I can get the current page to display in "full screen". I've
reinstalled Office, reinistalled Photoshop 3 (some years back I had a similar
display problem due to the Adobe gamma tool), tried different pictures etc.,
but no change.
Anybody got any ideas about how to resolve this?

I know exactly that my old HP Omnibook laptop with windows 98 worked well.
But as I bought this new laptop, HP Compac nc6120, Word has newer showed
pictures well. I always have to do eg. a small edit on the page, like change
the contrast of the picture or just press ones return somewhere and delete
it, and then most offen the pictures refresh themself. But as soon as I
scroll down and back up, they have dissapeared! Most amazing is, that now I
realized that if I take the add/remove programs from Windows control panel,
it appears to be same problem.... the programs does not show in the list if I
scroll the window down. So is this something to do with Word - Win XP or
HP/Compac laptops?

I've resolved my issue by downloading the latest graphics drivers for my
card. I feel stupid about this as it's such an obvious thing to do, but I
just wasn't aware that there was a new driver available, or that it would
resolve this issue. So, assuming you've followed the advice in Word help
files, if you've still got a problem I guess it's to do with the graphics
card or drivers.

I updated the graphic drivers already before, but it didn't help. Maybe there
is still something wrong with the new drivers as well. However, from other
thread I got a helpful hint to reducing hardware acceleration in Start |
Control Panel | Display | Advanced | Troubleshooting. That helped.

I had this problem and it did not help me. What did help was setting my
hardware accelerator down which did the job but I noticed a slow down on my
computer so I updated my drivers and now I can run at full hardware
accelerator and dont lose my graphics in word so it was a driver problem. I
have an ATI card and installed their new calalyst drivers and they are very
good.

This did the trick. Our IT guy was very hesitant to update the driver when
there was no other problem.
Thanks sundell4!

Download ATI latest driver only work for a period of time, that is my
experience. I done that 3 times over the past year, latest Dec 25. I have ATI
9600 graphic card, WIndow XP SP2, Office 2003 (tried XP), LCD with 12ms(tried
CRT), 1GB ram. 1. ATI tech support tried to resolve this issue from Dec 04
through Jan 05, no solution, they said it is MS problem, MS took over till
Feb 05, told to remove Adobe Acrobat 6, known issue conflict with SP2, I did,
but no fix and they have no solution. 2. Reinstalled Office and Window, no
fix. 3. Took Garfield's advise, turn down the acceleration setting and
disabled all DirectX, it works but computer seems a little slower. 4.Then
Downloaded new ATI drivers and able to turn acceleration back to high, only
worked for awhile, problem reoccured, still having problem from time to
time. When it happens, need to close all office application, and reopen word
first, if no go, restart computer. If your pictures disappear at all times,
turn acceleration down to low. I think is SP2 problem. Anyone out there has
better luck solving this issue?

Anyone ever get a real solution? I started to use Open office - no problems
there. I still had problems when mail with word attachments came in, so i
rolled back the SP2 - and things work fine. Would like to update to sp2 - but
am waiting for a better day.

Likewise - thank you Garfield for solving a hugely frustrating problem.
I may have ticked "show placeholders" myself, expecting that it would show
more, and not less, as I generally like to have as much information as
possible on screen. Not a very intuitive description of the option - why does
it not say "Don't display pictures, only placeholders, except in Reading
View" That would be more accurate.
The files were displayed correctly on another PC with Word 2003, and so I
was trying safe mode, repair etc etc to no avail. In desperation I trawled
through many hits from Google until I found this wonderful newsgroup. Happy
days.
