Mac Forum / Applications / Word / June 2006Help with Office Mac X insert clip art & photos
Suddenly any clip art or photo I try to insert into a document comes over only with a black border and no visable content. The border contains the image which can only be seen when clicking on Preview. But in the regular view, the image(s) is invisable and cannot be dragged, modified, etc. Any suggestions? Take a look at WordMenu>Preferences>View & remove the check on Picture Placeholders. That is the most likely culprit.

But then Preferences does not give me any option for View or Picture Placeholders. "Help" is, as always, no help. I am no dummy on computers, but this one is baffling me. Thank you!

In order for Preferences to be active a doc must be open... Preferably the one into which you have inserted the 'invisible' clip art. It has nothing to do with the Project Gallery or any given project.

Word needs to know "which" preferences you want to alter. To do that, you have to have the template containing them open. So Preferences will always be greyed out if no document is open. Either open the Normal template or open a document (which will open the template it is attached to). When you change the settings in Preferences, Word then has a place to save them.
