Why can't I see my images in print layout on screen?

[Joanna M]

In the new MS Office, when I create documents, I'm having trouble getting
images to stay visible whilst working on the documents. It's very
frustrating.

I've tried everything, changed all the picture formats, but it makes no
difference. With in line formatting or free floating, they still disappear.
When I click on them,they appear.

This sounds like you need to upgrade your graphics card driver. This isn't
uncommon when upgrading to a new version of Word. Meeting people's
expectations for what Word should do on-screen puts a lot of stress on the
graphics card driver

Go to the manufacturer's website and update to the newest version.

FWIW, there have been quite a few discussions that
suggested turning down the hardware acceleration
(at least as far back as Word 97 <g>). Word is
a good test of the capabilities of graphics drivers,
basically doing a constant update of the screen for
a changing document mixing graphics and text fonts
that are controlled by styles, layout options and
a number of settings within Word and with possible
influence from 3rd party programs and utilities running
all on a moving Windows baseline

If turning down the acceleration does work then
checking the PC, graphics card and graphics card
chipset manufacturer's websites for software/firmware
updates is a good step, although the updates sometimes
take a while to be tested and released.

Try reducing or turning off hardware acceleration in Start |
Control Panel | Display | Advanced | Troubleshooting. Also visit
your graphics adapter manufacturer's website and look for an
updated driver for your graphics adapter.
