Blank figures in MS Word 2007 under Windows 7
In a manuscript started using MS Office 2003 under MS Win/XP, figures that previously displayed properly are indicated with a blank box whose boundary is a narrow black rectangle. This occurs when I open the file in my Windows 7 environment (on a desktop PC).
The same file copied to my laptop, which is still running Win/XP, displays the figures properly. Again, the version of MS Word 2007 here is the same one being used on the aforementioned desktop PC. I have searched, without success, both for Office 2007 and for Win/7 configuration parameters that might control pertinent behavior. What now?

Blank figures in MS Word 2007 under Windows 7
Win7 has nothing to do with it, except that apparently a setting in Word got
changed during the upgrade (or maybe independently but near the same time). Go to Office button Word Options Advanced, scroll down to the "Show document content" section, and uncheck the box for "Show picture placeholders". Also make sure the box below it, "Show drawings and text boxes on screen", is checked. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
