Incomplete Word doc display

[Guest]

I am finding that documents i created that have pasted-in graphics will open
without showing those graphics. In some cases, it shows just a portion of the
graphic unless I put the cursor on it and click. The print preview also omits
the graphic. However, when emailed to my other system, the document shows all
graphics as originally created. So, it appears to be a problem on this
Toshiba Satellite laptop. This is a new problem and appears to have happened
after I did a series of Word documents with collaboration and tracking. I'm
guessing it is some sort of setting, somewhere, that is causing the problem
but so far, I have been unable to find it.

Tools | Options | View and deselect Picture placeholders.

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 the hardware acceleration setting in Start |
Control Panel | Display | Settings | Advanced | Troubleshooting.
The fastest setting is the default, but is not always the best
for Word. 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.
