MS Office Word 2003 - document is blank

When I copy a text or graphics and paste it by pressing Alt + Print Scrn to
Word new blank document, I only get a square box. The pasted document shows
blank or cannot see any text I copied when I use Normal view, but when I
change it to Reading Layout view, the text or graphics I pasted is there and
when I print the page is there too. I do not know how to solve this problem
and I really need your help. Thanks.

A few things to try:
1. In Word, if you're working in Normal view, then switch to Print
Layout view (View | Print Layout), because objects that are formatted as
"float over text" (Word 97) or as something other than "inline with
text" (Word 2000, 2002, and 2003) are not visible in Normal view.
2. In Word, click on Tools | Options | View tab | check the
"Drawings" box and uncheck the "Picture placeholders" box | Print tab |
check the "Drawing objects" box | OK.
3. If neither of the previous suggestions fixes the problem, then
try reducing or turning off hardware acceleration in Start | Control
Panel | Display | Settings | Advanced | Troubleshoot. If this fixes the
problem, then you might want to check the website of the manufacturer of
your video card/graphics adapter to see if there is an updated driver
available.
