Graphics in Word 2002 (Office XP)

[Lexie]

I received a Word document with a single graphic pasted on
Page 1. I was unable to view the graphic. Both the
sender and I are running Windows ME. I am running Office
XP with Word 2002.

I have reviewed the Tools/Options/View area and the double-
checked that the Picture placeholders is UNCHECKED and the
Drawings is CHECKED.

However, I was able to view the graphic with ease from my
laptop which is running Word '97 on Windows '95 operating
system.

Could any of the Spyware, Adware programs that I recently
loaded be interfering with this?

I was also unable to view an "e-vite" electronic party
invitation on the same system.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Quite possibly the graphic is linked and was not included with the document.
Press Alt+F9 to see if you see a field code. If the graphic is wrapped, you
will have to make it inline first. If you see a \d switch in the
IncludePicture field, the graphic is linked.

The fact that you have two issues of viewing graphics indicates a systemic
Windows problem, as long as the e-vite was not a Word file. Hmm, try this:
Have your friend send you the graphic as a file. Note its file type, and see
what happens when you try to view it, import it, etc., on your system.
