Why Do JPG's Disappear in Word Doc?

[Leonard M. Wapner]

I'm working on a 20 page Word 2002 doc with several jpg's in the doc. I've
edited and saved the doc many times, rarely with a problem. On two
occasions, however, while editing the doc, one or two jpg's have
disappeared, leaving a rectangle where the picture was. I received a
message to the effect that there was not enough memory or disk space to
properly display the picture. Each time this has happened, I simply copied
and pasted the picture back in the doc and all was well.

What is causing this? I have a fairly new system and disk space should not
be a problem.

Thanks -

Instead of copy/pasting, check the View tab of Tools | Options to see if
"Picture placeholders" is checked. Word often does this on its own when the
memory load is too high.
