After installing Office 2003, by default, it pastes my pictures in a
non-viewable mode. I have to change the viewing mode to "reading layout" to
see the picture (empty box shows in other modes). If I change it to a water
mark, then it will show. What I want it to do (by default) is when I paste a
picture, that it shows in all viewing modes. HELP : )

Hi, thepcman. In Word, click on Tools | Options | View | check the
"Drawings" box and uncheck the "Picture placeholders" box | Print | check the
"Drawing objects" box | OK. Note that in Normal view, pictures/objects that
are not "inline with text" will not be visible no matter what you do, so make
sure all of your pictures are formatted as inline in Format Picture | Layout.
