I've got MS Works Suite 2004 that includes Word 2002. When I save a word file as doc and put it in a folder that has jpg files where the picture shows up on the outside of the folder, it causes the pictures to disappear from the outside of folder. I can save it in rtf and have no problems. I have been on Microsoft's site and trouble shot all I could there. I've uninstalled and reinstalled. Nothing has helped. Can anybody help me to get it to working right? Thanks

Here's what I think is going on.

When you save a file to a folder that has thumbnails enabled, it will show the first few files as thumbnails on the folder view. This is the first few files in the order that the folder is sorted.

I suspect that your folder is sorted by extension. So, since DOC comes before JPG, the DOC files come first and move the JPG files from the folder thumb.

You don't see any issue with the RTF format because RTF comes after JPG.

There is no "fix" for this as it is not a bug or an error. You can try sorting on file date or file name, and you should see different files in the folder thumb.
