Thank you so much! I have been trying to figure out what’s wrong with my computer for a couple of weeks now. I performed searches but found nothing until I finally found this. Such a simple thing to fix and I just had no idea.

I had a user manual submission today and my screenshots just disappeared like that after a crash.

This other MS Word solutions (including those posted all through this thread): did not work for me. This is causing me HOURS and HOURS of extra work. For those who this Didn’t help, have you found a solution?

Thank you so much, my Word crashed because I was trying to modify the styles. I was planning to reinstall it if no solution was found.

Thanks so much. This option was turned on in Word when default settings were restored on my Outlook to fix a different problem that appeared with my new desktop.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. One of my users was having issues with Word not displaying images, and it turned out to be the next checkbox down which had somehow unchecked itself: “Show drawings and text boxes on screen”

Great.. It works! Finally sorted out what was a pain in the neck. I remember few days ago the word 2007 crashed and I guess that’s when it happened..

Many thanks again

This TOTALLY worked for me!!!

You’re a genius. I stumpled upon the same solution but via a different channel from within Outlook:
1. Open a new email message as if to send, but don’t.
2. In top left corner of message window left click the Office Button
3. In lower right corner of pop up, left click “editor options” / NOTE: if you search on “outlook email editor options” within Outlook help, you get no results.
4. In editor options pop up, select Advanced in left column. (looks different from posted above)
5. Scroll down to Display Email Content.
6. Make sure “Show Picture Placeholders” is NOT checked.
7. Make sure “Show Drawings and Text Boxes on Screen” is checked.
8. Click OKAY at bottom right of pop up. That takes you back to original blank message.
9. Escape out of the message without saving.
10. Go to inbox and select a message with graphics to see if it worked.
11. It should work. If it doesn’t, try exiting Outlook and restarting it.
12. If that doesn’t work, go to Outlook Tools/Trust Center/Automatic Downloads/ (again) and make sure that “Don’t download pictures automatically in HTML …” selection box is NOT checked. Click Okay and get out of there. if that doesn’t work, you have my sympathy.

Just want to post this because it was SO AGGRAVATING tying to find the answer, this might increasethe chances of a search finding your page.

Thanks so much cause it was driving me CRAZY!

Hi … I would like to say your solution worked but sadly it did not. I am pasting an Excel pie chart into this Word document. when pasted, I get a portion of a thin black border and nothing else. Ideas? Thanx

Thank you SO much for this!!! Not sure how that option became set, but it’s been driving me up the wall!!!!!
I’m using Word 2011 on a Mac; never even realized that option existed until reading your post.
