inserted pictures do not print or display

[Grizzly Bear]

When I click on Insert -> Picture -> From File, and select a picture. and
then press Insert the picture appears in the word doc. The pitcure box
open and NO picture is present until I select picture align feature and click
through. The when I do a print preview or try to print the document NO
pictures shows up. What causes the picture not to be displayed. When the
picture is displayed NO picture is present for print. Why?

A few things to try:
1. In Word, if you're working in Normal view, then switch to
Print Layout view (View | Print Layout), because objects that are
formatted as "float over text" (Word 97) or as something other
than "inline with text" (Word 2000, 2002, and 2003) are not
visible in Normal view.
2. In Word, click on Tools | Options | View tab | check the
"Drawings" box and uncheck the "Picture placeholders" box | Print
tab | check the "Drawing objects" box | OK.
3. If neither of the previous suggestions fixes the problem,
then try reducing or turning off hardware acceleration in Start |
Control Panel | Display | Settings | Advanced | Troubleshoot. If
this fixes the problem, then you might want to check the website
of the manufacturer of your video card/graphics adapter to see if
there is an updated driver available.
