Hi, The copy of Word I use at work has a very annoying problem - if a document has pictures of any sort they display sporadically. Sometimes the picture can be made to appear by scrolling down and up again but this doesn't work reliably. Sometimes the pictures display without a problem and on other occasions they never display. This applies to all sorts of pictures - .GIF, .JPG, embedded Visio drawings, even Word pictures. As the documents I work on usually have a number of pictures it is very annoying and lowers productivity. The PC is running Windows XP at SP2. Word is version 2002 at SP3. The PC is a reasonably modern small form factor HP with 512 MB Ram. Word is set up to display paragraph marks and tabs only (i.e. not all hidden items) As it's a work PC, there is no option to upgrade to Vista, Word 2007 or Open Office until the company as a whole upgrades. I've contacted our Hell Desk and they admit they've seen the problem before but cannot remember the solution. So ... have the great minds and experience of these NGs got any suggestions?
