SYMPTOMS
When you try to insert or paste a Visio drawing into Microsoft Word, the drawing is not visible. Instead, you see a black outline where the drawing should be.



CAUSE
The black outline is a picture placeholder. Microsoft Word uses picture placeholders to speed up scrolling.



RESOLUTION
To make the Visio drawing visible, disable picture placeholders in Microsoft Word. To disable picture placeholders in Word:
 * 1) In Microsoft Word, click Options on the Tools menu.
 * 2) Click the View tab.
 * 3) Clear the Picture Placeholders check box.
 * 4) Click OK.
