MS Office 2007 Hack: How to View a Picture that doesn’t Show Up in the Document

Well, this has often occurred with me, may be with you as well. I placed a picture in your Word document only to see that its not visible. Generally what happens is you do the writing and editing in Print Layout view. When you view it in the Draft views, Word displays only the contents. Simply switch to the Print Layout view. Leaving that there may me various other reasons. But you can try this cool hack to get back your picture in the document.

• Click the Office button and then click Word Options. Word displays the Word Options dialog box.
• Click on the Advanced at the left side of the screen
• Scroll through the advanced options until you see the Show Document Content section. (Click here to see a related figure.)
• Look for the Show Picture Placeholders check box. When selected, Word shows a “placeholder” for the graphic, but not the graphic itself. Set this check box as you need.
• Now look for the Show Drawings and Text Boxes On Screen check box. This check box controls whether drawings are displayed or not when using Print Layout and Web Layout views. Set this check box according to your needs.
• click OK to close the dialog box.
