Outline mode and pictures

[Woody]

Is there a way to see a picture when you are in outline mode? I added a
picture to my Word 2007 file and I can see it in Print Layout but not in
Outline mode. Is there a way to see it when you are in outline mode too?

Unfortunately, images and other objects are suppressed when you view your
document in Outline view. The same is true of Draft view. Only Print Layout
view will display your document as it will look when printed.

Thank you for responding. I thought I checked notify me of replies, but was
not notified. Only noticed this answer today.

Is there a way to see a border or something in outline mode other than a
blank area. This would at least que you that there is a picture of some sort
there.

I don't know of any way to show picture placeholders in Outline View. Now,
if you click the blank space to select the image (even though it's not
visible) you'll see the Picture Tools Format tab.

Perhaps if you expand on why you are using Outline view we can offer
alternate suggestions. For example if you want to view the structure of the
document you can turn on the Document Map and see your outline to the left
of the document while in Print Layout view.

Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why would Microsoft remove the ability to see photo's in outline view?

It seems as if Microsoft is focusing on Print Layout view and the new Read
Mode for Word 2013. I don't know why. What you can do is post a suggestion
for Microsoft here:
