Word 2007 - Draft View and Pictures

[Joseph Morales]

Since I upgraded to Word 2007, any pictures in my document are no longer
displayed when Word is in Draft View. I have to switch to Print Layout or Web
Layout to see the pictures. Is there a way to get them to appear in Draft
View?

Thanks,

Drawing objects have NEVER displayed in Draft view - that's why it is called
Draft View.

I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing. I mean jpegs that were
pulled into the document using Insert / Picture. It seems to me that they
did formerly appear in the Word 2003 version of Draft view.

Thanks, Joseph

No they didn't.

Terry, inline pictures do appear in Word 2003 in Normal view; it's the floating
ones that disappear.

In Word 2007's Draft view the inline pictures are invisible but still occupy
space within the text. You can't even get a box to show with the Picture
Placeholders option. This was not one of Microsoft's better decisions.

P.S.: Hi, Joe! How are things going in Mission? I've shifted over to MCP
networking development.

Jay, Thanks for the info. I'm still getting used to Word 2007 (it's taking a
long time!).

Keeping busy, thanks!

Take care, Joseph
