MS Word won't display pictures
« on: August 11, 2005, 09:43:03 AM »
I am using MS Word 2002 (XP)

When I insert a picture, initally it is shown correctly.  No problem.  After that time, the pictures, typically JPEGs are not shown.

What I mean by that is, when I re-open the file, or when I scroll the picture off the screen and then scroll it back, the picture is not shown.  Only an outline of the picture is shown.

If I drag one of the picture placeholder handles either in or out, the picture is then re-displayed okay.  However, once I scroll it off the screen, the same problem comes back.

I have found nothing at the MS support site.

Can anyone help? http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':(\' />

Hi Trevor,

Did you have any luck in solving this problem with displaying pictures in Word as I have exactly the same problem (Word 2002 SP3)!

I am having the exact same problem. Let me know if you find any answers. One thing i would like to add though is that when the picture does display and you are not viewing the whole page, my word program is only displaying what is currently on the page.

Ok I found a solution that seems to work for me anyway

Click the Start button on the Windows taskbar, then choose Settings | Control Panel.

Double-click on the Display icon.

Click the Settings tab, and then click the Advanced button.

Click the Troubleshoot tab.

Clear the Enable Write Combining check box.

Click OK and restart your computer.

Don't ask me what that checkbox does though. It's a mystery to me as to how this works.

Try this
Click the Start button on the Windows taskbar, then choose Settings | Control Panel.

Double-click on the Display icon.

Click the Settings tab, and then click the Advanced button.

Click the Troubleshoot tab

Then reduce your hardware acceleration to a setting that works for you.
you shouldn't have to retart after each change.

Hope this helps
