Publisher 2003 inserted objects?

When objects are inserted into Publisher 2003, they will not appear on the
screen. Only the handles show up. How do I get the actual object to appear?

GAL was very recently heard to utter:

Check View Pictures. If that fails...

This is almost certainly a problem with your video driver.

By going to Display Properties Settings Advanced Troubleshoot, and
dragging the Hardware Acceleration slider down three notches, you will be
able to disable Publisher from making the calls on the video driver that
cause this problem.

If this does fix your problem, it means that the problem does indeed lie
with the video driver. You can leave your computer running at this lower
hardware acceleration, but it may cause problems with other programs. It is
a better solution to try and find a driver update for your graphics card.
Normally, the latest drivers from the video card manufacturer will do the
trick, but ATI (and recently Intel and Dell) tend to be slower in perfecting
their
drivers, so some newer ATI and Intel cards to not yet have drivers available
that do not exhibit this behaviour. The solution here is to nag
ATI/Intel/Dell for better drivers.
