The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for Macintosh, 4.0, 5.0, 5.1

SYMPTOMS

Pictures and the icons for Annotations and Voice Annotations appear as gray boxes in a Word document.

CAUSE

You have Picture Placeholders selected. To disable Picture Placeholders, choose Preferences from the Tools menu (Edit menu in Word 4.0), and select the View category. Clear the check box for Picture Placeholders.

The Picture Placeholders feature speeds scrolling by displaying gray rectangles instead of graphics, but having it selected does not affect the way graphics print.

NOTE: Annotations and Voice Annotations are not available in Word 4.0.
