It sounds like the paragraph spacing might have changed from "At least" to
"Exactly", so all you're seeing is the little slice of the bottom of the
picture that fits within the height of the paragraph.

First press Ctrl+* (or click the ¶ button on the ribbon) so you can see
nonprinting characters, including the paragraph mark. Right-click the
paragraph mark and choose Paragraph. What does it say the paragraph spacing
is?

Tried that, but still same problem.
Strange thing though, I am sure that pictures did display a couple of days ago

Another possibility is that Word is overtaxing your video card. Try
this: Go to Start menu > Settings > Control Panel > Display > Settings

Advanced > Troubleshoot and move the Hardware Acceleration slider

toward the left. Click the Apply button and then try viewing the
pictures in Word. Repeat until either the problem goes away or the
slider is all the way to the left.

If that solves the problem, visit the web site of the video card's
manufacturer to see if they've posted an updated driver.

We are having the same problem. We have a native 2003 document with
several images. When one opens it up in Word 2007 the images become
black boxes or a small amount of the image appears with the rest
showing up as black. The image typically shows up at the top where the
black is at the lower 2/3s. I have looked through all of the image
formatting and am finding nothing that has changed.

We are having a similar problem with Word 2004 on a mac. We haven't
found a solution either.

Having the same problems. Original images scanned in using Omnipage OCR
software.

Same problem here. All the pictures that I put in my 2003 Word are all black,
except for a few that only 2/3rds are black.

Is it a 2007 fault or a setting?
