Mac Forum / Applications / Word / May 2008Word 2008 shows pictures as black boxes in doc from PC
I have moved a template from Office 2003 on pc which shows pictures fine. When I try to open it in 2008 all the formatting is fine but the images are all blacked out. I can't seem to import or drag images into this file either. A new office 2008 document works fine and I can drag the jpeg files in fine. This is a confirmed bug. There's a fix on the way. In the meantime, ensure you have applied the latest Apple OS X updates.

Signaturecurt:laird software development engineer in test microsoft macbu | word:mac mailto:curtl@ONLINEmicrosoft.com (remove ³ONLINE² to send me mail) Sent with pride using Entourage 2008! This posting is provided ³AS IS² with no warranties, and confers no rights. I have the same problem. This is kind of a big deal for all of us that work in a mixed environment office. Basically, I am back to using 2004 until this is sorted out. Any idea when this will fix will be delivered? Darren No, we never have any idea when fixes are going to be released. I "think" the fix to this problem is in the next service release to be issued. That service release is in testing now. Assuming the fix passes testing, it will be delivered in the coming Service Release. If it fails testing, they will pull it out and delay it to the following Service Release. So it's an absolute lottery: neither we nor Microsoft can say when a particular fix is coming out. All being well, it will be "weeks" rather than "months".

It's not very nice when I'm sending official documents with the company logo showing as a black box! :angry: Have you applied Office Service Release 12.1.0?
