398819 2005-10-24 07:24:00 I have Word 97 running in Windows XP. For ages all my Word documents have had all the inserted pictures showing on screen. Now there is just a box. The picture still prints and is still visible in print preview. I have changed nothing and suspect that a Windows update has changed a setting somewhere. But where do I look?

(Instructions for Word 2003, Word 97 may be in a different menu)

398821 2005-10-24 18:47:00 Yes, 97 is the same and Tools, Options, View has Pictures ticked. Just as it always has but now the pictures no longer show. Has Microsoft changed something with one of their automatic updates? dveitch (6045)

398823 2005-10-24 19:27:00 Thanks. That was it. Tools | Options | View Tab | Uncheck Use Picture Placeholders.

But who changed it?

398824 2005-10-24 19:34:00 Pass. I use Office XP, not Office 97.

Could have been an update that changed it, or someone else has been on that PC and changed it?
