No+picture+in+Word


 * No picture in Word**

Basically there’s a setting that will have Word load pictures as a simple placeholder. Why would anyone use this? The most common reason is to speed things up when working on a document with a lot of pictures. The scrolling is much, much faster if Word is not trying to load the pictures every time you scroll through the document. That being said the next logical thought is to wonder how to change that setting. It is a setting found in Word’ options. Depending upon the version of Word you are running they are accessed via the **Tools** menu (for versions older than 2007), the **Office Button** (Word 2007) or the **File tab** of the Ribbon (Word 2010). Once you are into the Options dialog box you will need to locate the settings for what content Word displays, looking for a reference to **//picture placeholders//**. In the newer versions, you will find that in the **Advanced Options** / **Show Document Content** section. Deselect the “**Show Picture Placeholders**” option and click **OK**. That should do the trick, pictures should now be visible in your documents from this point forward.
