Mac Word 2004 can't preview my pictures while clicking down the list of files

[stonebiz]

I have found pictures off of Google Images for my 1st grade students to
use. When we do Insert > Picture > from File and click on the various
(jpeg/tiff) files, the next column should display the picture but
displays only the same generic picture for each. I did try to see if
it was working by clicking some of the pictures that came with Word and
they were displayed for preview correct, but not the pictures I found
or the photos I have taken, etc. What am I doing wrong? Please
advise. Thanks!

You may want to repost in a Mac-specific NG
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups, but in
Windows JPEG and TIFF pictures are usually displayed eventually, but
sometimes it takes time to create thumbnails for newly inserted ones
(especially TIFFs). EPS graphics are displayed only if they have a preview,
and then the colors seem usually to be reversed.
