When I insert a picture in Word (Office Professional 2003) the picture does
not show up. I can click where the picture is supposed to be and it shows
what are apparently the borders of where the picture should be. This also
sometimes happens in Excel. Is there a setting to allow pictures I don't
know about? Anybody have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated/

Thanks Suzanne but all of the offered fixes on this URL did not help.
Sometimes I could change the view (normal view, print view, etc.) and the
picture would show but if I scrolled down and then scrolled back up it was
the same problem.

Then your next step is into the Windows Control Panel - Display Properties.
Click the Advanced button on the Settings page & select the Troubleshoot
tab. Back the Hardware Accelleration setting down a couple of tickmarks,
click Apply & see if that makes a difference. Repeat as necessary. If this
fixes it, you need to contact the mfr of your video card/driver for a driver
update - or perhaps upgrade your video altogether.

Thanks Bob but this did not do it either. I don't think it's the graphics
card as I can put pictures into Excel with no problems with exception of a
very small picture of my signature I use for reports. Although the signature
does not show in the excel file all the imported 4 x 6 pictures show fine.
When I convert the Excel report to a PDF the signature shows up.
