When I insert a picture (either from a file on my hard-drive, or from
the internet) into a Word 2002 document - the picture is invisible -
only its placeholder (outline) is shown.

document.

I have to minimize and then maximize the document to see the picture
again.

1. I have made sure there is no tick in "picture placeholders" from
the tools-options-view menu.

2. Pictures are inserted and displayed NORMALLY, even with FULL
hardware acceleration, in both " Open Office ", and " AbiWord " ,
which are freeware versions of Microsoft Word.

So the problem seems to be with
