Invisible pasted objects

[Helene]

I must have hit some keyboard sequence by accident yesterday since now
everything I paste is blank. I can click on it so I know its there but I
can't see any pasted objects (jpg, bmp etc). I can't figure out what I did.
Help!

A few things to try:
1. In Word, if you're working in Normal view, then switch to
Print Layout view (View | Print Layout), because objects that are
formatted as "float over text" (Word 97) or as something other
than "inline with text" (Word 2000, 2002, and 2003) are not
visible in Normal view.
2. In Word, click on Tools | Options | View tab | check the
"Drawings" box and uncheck the "Picture placeholders" box | Print
tab | check the "Drawing objects" box | OK.
3. If neither of the previous suggestions fixes the problem,
then try reducing the hardware acceleration setting in Start |
Control Panel | Display | Settings | Advanced | Troubleshoot. If
this fixes the problem, then you might want to check the website
of the manufacturer of your video card/graphics adapter to see if
there is an updated driver available.

Go into the Windows Control Panel - Display Properties.
Click the Advanced button on the Settings page & select the Troubleshoot
tab. Back the Hardware Acceleration setting down a couple of tick marks,
click Apply & see if that makes a difference. Repeat as necessary. If this
fixes it, you need to contact the mfr of your video card/driver for a driver
update - or perhaps upgrade your video altogether.
