Word 2002 Insert Picture Problems

[Ronald Roberts]

I have documents I use for training that have JPEG files inserted.
What's happening is:

1. If I click outside of a picture I see a border with no picture.
2. If I click inside of the picture I see the handles only, no picture
and no border.
3. When a picture is selected, I can't resize it by moving the handles.
4. When a picture is selected, the picture toolbar does not become
enables. The only button that works is the Insert Picture button. The
buttons with dropdown menus open the dropdown, but the menu is not enabled.
5. If I select a picture and double-click on it, nothing happened. In my
other versions of Word the Format Picture Dialog box opens.

I have Office 97, 2000, 2002, 2003 installed. The above errors only
happen in Word 2002.

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions on what has caused this and/or
how to correct this would be greatly appreciated.

I believe that you have PICTURE PLACEHOLDERS turned on.

Click TOOLS in the menu and selection OPTIONS and on the VIEW tab, under the
SHOW panel locate PICTURE PLACEHOLDERS and remove the checkmark.

Kevin,

Yes, I did have placeholder on, but I still have one problem.
When I scroll down to an area with a picture, it doesn't display.
If I resize the picture just a little or minimize and restore the
window, the picture will be displayed. If I scroll away for the
picture and then scroll back to it, it will not be displayed.

The above behavior does not happen in th eother versions of Word.

Thanks for help with the picture placement option.

Ron
