viewing word art and equations in WORD

[ebmsoft]

In some instances of WORD 2003 equations inserted using the MS Equation 3.0
editor, do not appear on the document except in Reading View. Yet in other
instances seemingly similar, I can see it in Print View and other views as
well. Is there a special setting that controls this anomaly? I find the same
affecting WordArt insertions.

Eargerly awaiting an answer. However I am not sure which is the proper group
for this question. It may just as well be "applications" or "general" !
Please help.

Two 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.
