invisible graphics

Question

This behavior started this morning all of a sudden. After checking every step on 

http://wordfaqs.mvps.org/InvisibleGraphics.htm

I still can't see pasted images.

This is what you can see after clicking the box where the image should show

I cannot see them in print preview either, not even after saving the document as a pdf.

In previous documents I can indeed see images pasted in the same fashion.

The only way I can paste images now is copying just one picture at once and pasting it as a bit map. Copying one at a time and pasting them via Ctrl+V, pastes them in a small size all in a row.

Here's a document showing such a behavior

Answer 1

Hi Suzanne,

What I can't grasp is why, suddenly one morning, this starts to happen, when I have been able to just copy and paste as usual from, for example, wikipedia, including images and all the other stuff.

Answer 2

Are you certain that under Word Options>Advanced>Show Document Content, the box for Show Picture Placeholders is NOT checked?

Answer 3

Could you share an example document with the forum?

Answer 4

Could it be possible for the last update to have cause this issue?

Answer 5

I've also tried checking it, closing the document, open it and again and uncheck it, yet with no luck.

I can paste as usual in powerpoint.
