Viewing Images + ClipArt Functions

[cm]

When I copy/paste an image into Word 2007 it appears as if it is a blank
graphics box. The only way that I can view the image is to go to
Print-Preview. In previous versions of Word, the image appeared in the
document that I was creating.
How can I get images to appear in Word 2007?
Also, how does the "insert clipart" function work in Word 2007?

Thank you for your help.

You probably have "Picture placeholders" enabled: Office Button | Word
Options | Advanced | Show document content, and clear the check box.

RE: Viewing Images
Yes, thank you that was the solution.

What about ClipArt?
What happened to the built-in library of images? When I tried to insert an
image, I searched for "party" and I just saw a bunch of squares, each
containing the same generic multi-coloured box graphic (which usually
indicates a problem with the graphic image).
Help....Thanks.

Office 2007 did not ship with many images. Have you installed the Clip
Organizer? Can you go directly to the Office web site and collect clipart?

Thanks. I will probably do this later today.

i am using word 2003, and lately noticed the same things. the clipart is
showing up as the little box graphic. ( i cleared the temp internet cache).
also on the microsoft clipart site, many of the cliparts that are available
are not showing up as pictures, but rather as empty boxes
