My graphs dissappear in documents. When I hit enter,they reappear

[mzc_0831]

When I go into my documents, all of the graphics are missing; however, there
are arrow type lines that "outline" where they should be, When I hit ENTER,
the graphics reappear. When I go back out of the document & re-open, graphics
disappear again. Please help!

Thanks,
Melissa

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 | Troubleshooting.
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.

I have the same problem with Word 2003 in my laptop. Graphics (imported excel
sheets, or imported JPG) simply do not show up, or show up after a long time
only. It has nothing to do with "picture place holders". Also toggling
hard-ware accelleration does not help. Typing a character in the neighborhood
of the picture sometimes makes it show up. This is very annoying.

If anybody knows of other tricks ?

Thanks,
Simon.
