Microsoft Word having trouble displaying .doc

[Cloudchaser the Red Wolf furry]

Hi!

I'm not sure just where this should go, so I apologize if I overdid on posting

Microsoft Word is having trouble displaying .doc files that are supposed to
have color and/or images.

For example, poems & stories listed in this gallery, most if not all of
which have embedded images (caution, dark red around the border means adult
content)
http://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/vixyyfox/

Of one, the author told me "It should have a deep red background to the
point of almost black, and the type is in white" but that doesn't happen.

Of all of them, when I try to open one, I get "unable to load graphics
filter. continue with document conversion?" followed by what appears to be a
blank page if I select yes and I have to highlight the page to see the text.
If I select no, "an unexpected error occured while reading....(insert
filename here).doc"

What can I do to fix this problem? My comp's only a year old, so I don't
think that Microsoft Word being out of date is an issue.

I opened 3 at random and all work correctly. Please give me a direct link to
one that you know doesn't work.

Here's one

In trying to find one that didn't work, I noticed that .doc's with no image
seem to work fine, it's the ones with an image that foul up.

It opens fine here and looks almost correct.

Picture of Wolf, blue text and a brown background. The only comment I would
make is that the picture at the top isn't centred and the title is the the
right of the picture. On a widescreen display, it looks wrong with the text
centred but not the heading or picture.

I suggest that you run Office Setup and make sure that all the graphic
filters have been installed for Word: not all text or graphic filters are
installed during a default install.

Where can I find a file to do that?

 

[Terry Farrell]

You open Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, select Microsoft Office and
click on Change. Select Word and Advanced Options and you can then select
the filters from the list of components.

Neither Word or Microsoft Office was listed there. I searched for install
microsoft word at microsoft.com and installed word viewer 2003
