Word 2007 will not print pictures since 3/17/09.

[WPHD]

We have 2 images in the header of our letterhead. The images comprise a
picture and a text-art entry. Until 3/17/09 it printed properly. As of
Tuesday morning, 3/17/09 (after a Windows auto-update) the image no longer
prints, only the plain text in the header, though it is properly spaced. The
image does NOT appear in Print Preview.

I have initially tried restoring to an earlier saved point, but NONE of
those points were permitted. Then I tried "Repairing" from the original CD.
The repair ran perfectly, but the problem persists.

If I copy the document from Word to OpenOffice Text the graphic still will
not print in OpenOffice, though it shows in normal view and NOT in page
preview. If I open the document with OpenOffice Text, it displays AND prints
properly.

It appears that graphic printing was somehow turned off, but I can't find
any way to do or undo that function!

Help!
