When inserting a photo file [JPG] in a new word document only the frame
appears. However, word document will print showing photo there! Picture icon
ticked.

On the View tab of Tools | Options, make sure you don't have "Picture
placeholders" checked.

I am having this problem. I had photoshopped some images yesterday and
inserted into MS Word (2003) and had no problems. I didn't go into options
etc and change anything and nobody used my PC.

Today I am getting blank images. I read this and went in and there is no
check under Tools> Options> View (tab) under the "Picture Placeholders". In
addition, there is a check under drawings. I rebooted the PC just in case
and still, I have blank images. Now what can I do?

Here's some additional information. Some other odd things are happening now.
I compared my options under Tools> Options> View (tab) with those on my
Husband's PC. We had the same options checked. The only difference was that
on mine, "Whitespace between Pages" was greyed out (can uncheck) and his was
not.

I was playing around and filled in the background (under format;
background). Anyway, the photos inserted, then when gradually blank! First,
part of the photo disappeared as I tried to scroll down and then the rest
went blank.

What can this be? Please help; I use inserting photos frequently for a
hobby I do. Thanks.

The disappearing image suggests an inadquate Windows display driver. Update
the driver and/or reduce its hardware acceleration.
