MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft Word documents consist of separate text and drawing layers. When a picture or object is formatted with a wrapping style other than In line with text, the picture or object is inserted into the drawing layer. Word does not display the drawing layer when you view the document in normal view or outline view.

Print layout, web layout, and print preview are the only views in which Word can display the drawing layers of a Word document. Because pictures and objects that are formatted with a wrapping style other than In line with text reside in the drawing layer, they are only visible in print layout, web layout, and print preview views.
