I have a weird situation. I have a cover sheet with two images on it. I
typically call in the cover sheet using a macro, and the pictures are
"there" but not really there: I can click on them, and the handles show, but
the pictures are not themselves visible.

Throught trial and error, I have determined that if any add-in (whatsoever,
mine or someone else's) resides in the Startup folder, this behavior
persists (even when I open the cover page via manual navigation). Get rid
of all ".dot" files in the startup folder, the images always display as they
should.

It also only happens with WordXP. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Ed (Virginia)

Don't have an explanation for the behavior you note. The presence of Add-Ins
should not change the visibility of pictures unless the Add-In, itself,
codes such a change.

Suggestion: Put your coversheet / images into an AutoText entry.

Make sure you have the following option checked:
Tools > Options > View
