Only Inline Figures can be Seen and Printed

John Carter has run into a problem where he cannot see or print any graphics that are not formatted as inline graphics. If the graphics are formatted so they are not inline, he can only see them in Print Layout view, but not any other view, and they do not print.

There are several things to check. The first is to make sure that you have Word configured to display drawings. Choose Tools | Options | View tab, and make sure the Drawing check box is selected. This check box controls whether non-inline graphics are displayed or not.

You may also want to check to make sure you aren't actually displaying your document in draft mode and that drawing objects are printed. Choose Tools | Options | Print tab. Make sure the Draft Output check box is clear and that the Drawing Objects check box is selected.

If this still does not clear up your problem, check out this page at the Word MVP site for some additional ideas:
