I have Windows 2000. I was "messing" with many different settings on my
computer trying to figure out a separate problem. When I went back later to
pull up documents with clip art in them that I had created earlier, ALL clip
art images had disappeared (however outline box remained where images should
have been.) When I right-click on the outline box and click "edit" the image
does appear on the edit page. Please HELP!!! What setting did I change to
make my clip art images disappear?

====================================================
Just wondering...what program did you use to create the documents?

For example...in Publisher 2007 I can go to...View / Pictures / Hide
Pictures.

In Word 2007 I can go to...Office Button (upper left corner) / Word Options
button /
Advanced / Show Document Content / Check the box...Show Picture Placeholders
/ OK.

A few things to try:
1. In Word, if you're working in Normal view, then switch to
Print Layout view (View | Print Layout), because objects that are
formatted as "float over text" (Word 97) or as something other
than "inline with text" (Word 2000, 2002, and 2003) are not
visible in Normal view.
2. In Word 2003 or earlier, click on Tools | Options | View
tab | check the "Drawings" box and uncheck the "Picture
placeholders" box | Print tab | check the "Drawing objects" box | OK.
3. If neither of the previous suggestions fixes the problem,
then try reducing or turning off hardware acceleration in Start |
Control Panel | Display | Settings | Advanced | Troubleshoot. If
this fixes the problem, then you might want to check the website
of the manufacturer of your video card/graphics adapter to see if
there is an updated driver available.
