Zero size word picture objects

J

Hi,

I'm intermittently getting the size of word pictures coming out as zero.
(word xp running on windows xp prof).

I'm doing insert object->word picture, drawing some rectangles etc. and
closing the picture. The picture 'appears' not to be in the document at all
but after a lot of searching I tracked it down to a 0.03 cm x 0.03 cm dot on
the screen. I can open it again and it's there ok. I can bring up the object
format properties and change the size but it only increases the bounding box
to approx 2cm square max and there are no contents visible.

I'm creating new pictures by copying existing picture objects and editing
them. This works ok most of the time but occasionally, the picture displayed
in the doc is not updated when I close the picture object so I have to open
the picture, do a bit of editing, close the picture and check if it's in the
main doc.

Any ideas on these problems?

Thanks,

Jay.
