Quite often pictures are not shown in the document.

[Daryoosh]

Quite often my open document does not show the pictures. The picture is there
but word does not show it. If I try to change the zoom, contrast, or
brightness of the picture, or any other change, it shows the picture. But
when I go up and down in the document and return to the picture, it again
doesn't show it. Most of my pictures are in JPG format. Have you any comment
on what is making this problem and how I can resolve it?

Hi, Daryoosh,

You might try updating your video drivers to see if that resolves the issue.

Hi, Thanks a lot Susan for the note.. However, I updated the video driver,
but still has the same problem (pictures often are not shown in the document,
or are partially shown). I'm using a fast system (P4, 3.4GHZ, 1GRAM, 82915G
video 128MB not shared), so not expecting a problem with the system. And this
only happens in the MS office documents - it's quite fine in Wordpad.

Has anybody any comment?

Try reducing or turning off hardware acceleration in Start |
Control Panel | Display | Settings | Advanced | Troubleshooting.

Try hardware acceleration like garfield-n-odie suggested. Also, if you're
using Office 2003, make sure you've installed SP1 for Office 2003. It fixes
a lot of these "missing pictures" issues.

Go to Help/About to check your version. If it's Office 2003 and you don't
see SP1 at the end of the version, then choose Help/Check for Updates and
install it.

I'm using Office 2002 SP3. But I reduced the hardware acceleration and it
fixed the problem.. Thanks a lot!
