Using Photo's in a publication

[Banjo]

I am trying to create a Calendar, 12 pages plus a cover 1 month to a opening.
I want to have a photo from my collection showing each month, it will be
printed on the reverse side of the page.

My problem is I can't see the photo when I insert it I have looked at the
View menu and set the picture setting to view picture not placeholder? what
else am I getting wrong?

=====================================
Maybe the file size of the pictures is causing an
issue. Try resizing them before you import them.
Publisher has a 16MB limit for image files.

Have a look at the followng articles:

(218675) You receive a "Publisher cannot
complete the operation" error message when
you import pictures in Publisher 2002 and
in Publisher 2000
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=218675

(827316) Error message when you try to
save a Publisher 2007 or Publisher 2003
publication to an earlier version: "There is
a picture on page <Page_Num> that is too
large to be converted to previous versions
of Publisher"

G'day John, I don't think that's the problem as it is a jpeg image 1.32mg. I
am using Publisher 2002 as a part of Office XP 2002 sp3, Clipart in the same
document seems ok I can resize it as I wish. Thanks for your offer and
thought.

=================================
I could be off on the wrong tangent here but
just as an experiment...try inserting smaller
pictures 640x480 for example...and see if
the issue persists.

It's also possible that you need to
update your video driver.

Have a look at the following ino:

Ino? I must be asleep 'Info' was the word
and it's the fourth FAQ not the third...
