Draw Layer Elements vanish from sceen but still print out...

Help!

For reasons unknown, all 'drawn' elements in my documents have
disappeared when viewed on-screen. They are still there (if I select
them and 'bring to front' they appear, but when I finish editing they
disappear again. When I print, they are printed as expected, and in
PowerPoint I can see them when I look at 'thumbnails' of the pages even
though the page itself only has the text elements of the image showing.

I guess some setting somewhere has been set or unset that causes this -
but I can't find out what / where. If you know, please let me know!

Many thanks.

BTW - I am using Office XP

Hello Gavin,
I assume you are talking about a Word document?
I made a simple Word doc with some text and a rectangle drawn with Drawing
Toolbar. I then used Tools|Option|View and fond near bottom 'Print and Web
Layout' and box labelled Drawings. I click this to remove check mark.
Retuned to doc and rectangle was gone. When back and re-entered check mark
and rectangle reappeared.
Hope this helps.

Hi,

The option was already selected: but unselecting it, closing the dialog,
and then reopening the option and selecting it again and then closing
the dialog fixes it during a single session - but the problem reverts
when I open document again.

I think it is time for a clean re-install :(

Got it - something to do with Stuffit Deluxe: uninstalled that and
magically all the drawings have reappeared... wierd!
