Cannot See Images in Word - How to Resolve
The problem can affect Microsoft Word versions 97 2000 2002 or XP 2003 and 2007.
The reason this occurs is due to Microsofts layered approach to documents, each document consists of 3 layers,
The text layer, the header/footer layer and the drawing layer that contains the graphics. Change the page view to Print Layout View (this is the small selection of screen settings at the bottom of the main word screen, hovering the cursor over them will show which view they represent) Make Sure Drawing is Ticked Word 97 2000 2002 or XP - 2003 Tools Menu Options View tab under print and web layout options make sure Drawings is ticked.
Word 2007 Make sure Place Holders is not ticked as a default picture place holders forces Word to show an empty box in place of each graphic within the document to help improve the scrolling performance. Word 2007 Home button Word Options Advanced scroll down to Show Document Content then make sure Show Picture Place Holders is not ticked.
Notes
Word 2007 home button refers to the large circular symbol
Optimizing Images Once your images are showing within Word documents, it is definitely worth making sure that any images are optimised for the document.
Images which are large make the overall size of the document large, which can give problems making the document very slow to open and email.
Make sure any inserted image is using a compressed format such as JPG or JPEG, rather than BMP or Bitmap which offers no image compression meaning a BMP image will probably be around 10 times the size of an identical image saved as a JPG file.
