Can I display a picture in Word 2007 draft mode?

[Kathy F]

How can I display pictures while working in Word 2007? I use draft mode to
write documents and if you can't see where the pictures are, and what they
are, they can occasionally be deleted by accident. I need to see them.

Also, how do you display a page break in Word 2007? Unless you have
paragraph marks displaying and see one indented, you don't know where the
page break is.

Have used Word 2007 for 2 months, and so far, I'm not happy with it at all.

Save the document as Word 97-2003 format and the (in-line) images will be
displayed. Floating images are never displayed in draft mode.
or
Work in print layout mode.

The page breaks are displayed by a dotted line in draft mode - easier to
spot if you uncheck the option in Word Options > Advanced > Show Document
Content > 'Show text wrapped within the document window'. I didn't think it
possible to turn off the page break indicator?

Hi all,
It seems the hard page breaks show up in Word 2007's draft mode if you hit backspace delete once after entering the page break. Go
figure.
Cheers,

In W2007 the manual page breaks end in a return and their symbols are short,
like this
............Page Break..........¶

This improvement means a manual page break can have a paragraph style
separate from that of the following paragraph. It eliminates a problem with
the TOC's using the page break's page number instead of the heading's page
number (or, sometimes, showing the heading level twice).

Deleting the return makes the break look and behave like the ones in W2003.

Hmmm. I think I understand. Thankyou Pamelia for your clarification. And I think that is separate from the question of being able
to see the page break, be it a hard or soft break.

No, I guessed (wrongly, I gather) that you'd missed seeing the shorter page
break line. I work on my two computers and many of client computers, and I
don't think I've ever not seen page and section breaks in draft view. Sorry
that I cannot help further.

Your comments were helpful. Thank you. What I was doing was not working correctly either as it put in an extra hard page but on
Print Layout showed up as putting in an intervening blank page. Gil
