a) Have you checked View Pictures?
b) Have you tried updating your video drivers?

I have the same problem - I've tried updating the video driver and yes I do
have view pictures turned on. If I scoll the page up and back down the
missing section of a picture is not redrawn - do you have this?
One possible conflict I have is with Dragon Naturally Speaking 8 - if I have
this loaded - no pictures - remove it and restart publisher - pictures !
I hope this might help - Scansoft are looking into it for me.

Yes I have view picture checked and I can't imagine I would have to update my
video card since my computer is brand new from Dell with one of the best
video cards/driver. I never had this problem with pub. 2002. Paid good money
for this and I am now doing my newsletters back on my old computer with 2002.
Very disappointed.

I have no idea what is going on.. they come, they go.. when I print to a pdf
they appear in the pdf but still not in my newsletter.. they are there when
created but as soon as I close and re open they go away!!! My computer is
brand new, the best video card/driver with media xp I can't imagine it can't
handle it.

Bad assumption. The computers are not necessarily loaded with the latest
drivers. The information is basically "pumped in", not "installed". Make us
happy - check for new drivers. If it *is* the latest, then you can say,
"Neener, neener, nyah, nyah. You were wrong! What next?"

(Of course if there are newer drivers available, you owe Ed big time.)

That's a video driver thing.

Video cards and video drivers are not the same thing.
Video drivers allow your computer to access your video card. Sometimes they
don't work properly, and are updated. Sometimes, they don't work properly,
and aren't updated.

When Dell build your computer, they take a preinstallation disc with all the
drivers on, and use it to make your hard drive look exactly like all the
other ones leaving Dell.
They don't update this disc every time a manufacturer releaes a new driver.
So it is unlikely that the drivers that are loaded on your computer are the
very latest ones, even if your graphics card is the very latest model. In
fact, especially if it's the very latest model - older, more mature graphics
cards don't tend to need as many driver updates.

What graphics card do you have?

What happens if you go to Start Control Panel Display Advanced
Advanced Troubleshoot and slide the hardware acceleration down a few
notches?

From the description of your problem, as JoAnn says, it is with 99%
certainty a problem with the video drivers.

This addresses your issue even though it is for Office 2002.

Graphics or text may be corrupted when you scroll in a document or resize a window in
an Office XP program
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;294916

Slide the acceleration down on your adapter, right-click the desktop, properties,
settings tab, advanced button, troubleshoot tab.

Ok I'll give it a go.. now where exactly would I go to update this.. I guess
I need to find out what brand of driver I have and then go to their web site
and look around, eh? Hey if you're right I will be HAPPY!
