Hello,
So far MS word worked fine. But now it is not showing up images. Also not even page numbers. Instead showing up {Page}. Please let me know why this happens? How to bring them out?
this didn't work for me as that was already unchecked...what worked was checking "show drawings and text boxes on screen" - it must have previously been checked but after word crashes it must disable it?
Thanks ever so much for that solution, which had been plaguing me as I tried to print a film script to enter in a writing contest. No matter how I modified the settings, I kept getting PAGE with brackets around it on every page when I printed the script ... and the Microsoft help menu was no help at all.
Incidentally, the solution to this problem is slightly different on Microsoft Office Word 2003, but with the help of your basic information I was easily able to adapt.
I went to:
Tools=Options=Print=Include with document=Field codes
Thanks a lot for the help, I saved me a lot of time. I have been user of MS Word for many years, considered myself not an inexpert user, and this gave me a hard time for many days. I was thinking something wrong in the installation, etc. why Microsoft has to make it this way? , when so many people have the same problem tells me the problem is the product. I hope they improve over time.
Thanks a lot. That drove me mad for a while. On Word 2008 for Mac it work the following way:in the menu Word, go to Preferences, then View, then uncheck 'Image placeholders'.
None of the above suggestions worked for me until I tried this: (Word 2003)
1. Click the Tools->Options menu item.
2. Click the View tab.
3. Uncheck the Picture Placeholders checkbox.
4. Click OK.
I was vexed by this problem for about a week, then I searched online and came up with this forum. For MS-Word 2003, I went to Tools, Options, View. (1) If Field Codes Box is checked, you will see the the code (EMBED Word Picture.8), so un-check this box. (2) If Picture Placeholder Box is checked, you will see the an outline of the picture, but no picture, so un-check this box. I have no idea how these boxes got checked. Perhaps I received some Word file that had these options and somehow during a Word recovery, the document template got updated to these settings.
Thank you so, so much! I spent about an hour trying to figure out what the problem was by Googling, Googling, Googling. Everything was working fine yesterday, but all of a sudden, my images weren't showing up anymore. I have no idea how that box got checked, but I unchecked it and now all is back to normal. I really can't thank you enough :)! Your advice was the only thing that did the trick! You're the best.
Ok, so if anyone is experiencing the same issue as I did here is a half but working solution. I use WORD2007 and I wanted to add page numbers to my pages, but when I did so, nothing happened. I was thinking maybe I did something wrong, but as I fiddled with Table of Contents and Table of Images, both of them showed up the accurate page numbers, so I became suspicious. I think something is wrong with this new office, or the software distribution was faulty. Dunno, but I checked and unchecked in the Document field codes box, and nothing happened. So WORD2007 did not even put a field code in the area where I put the page numbers. To overcome this problem I opened a document which had page numbering, and I was curious of the page number code. It was { PAGE }, so I CTRL-C, CTRL-V-ed into my document, once again checked the (In Word 2007
File[Office Button]=>Word Options=>Advanced=>Show Document content and uncheck "show field codes instead of their values") box and voila! I had my document with page numbers!
I used to see the same issue in my machine. And previously I used to select the {page} and right-click and then click on "Toggle filed codes".
Thanks a lot for the answer on how to fix this problem.

If you mean your pictures, diagrams, graphs and anything you might add into your document from another source:
Go into Word > Tools > Options > View > Then uncheck (clear) Picture Placeholders.
That will show everything in regular view, instead of just print review.
