When I try to insert a photo into a WORD document all I get is a blank box. I
cannot even copy and paste from My Pictures. I have tried to reinstall and
repair Word and that did not work.
 
A few things to try:
1. In Word, if you're working in Normal view, switch to Print
Layout view (View | Print Layout), because objects that are
formatted as "float over text" (Word 97) or *not* "inline with
text" (Word 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 the hardware acceleration setting in Start |
Control Panel | Display | Advanced | Troubleshooting.
