Have a friend who has encountered a problem with word in Office XP Pro. He installed Mozilla browser and after that when he opened his docs in word they did not show all of the graphics within the document. It is a large doc with 165 pages with graphs and pictures amongst the text.

He uninstalled Mozilla but no change. He then reinstalled office and no change. We reinstalled windows xp pro and still no change. Everthing worked well before so what has happened. How do we get word to operate correctly again. The file works fine on my PC and shows all of the graphics in word.

He has a 1.4Ghz P4 with 256 Mb Ram and plenty of hard drive space. We have checked for viruses and found none.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Another thing, he is also having trouble copying and pasting his diagrams in word if this gives more clues. The box shows only the little red x in the top left corner.

The only thing I can think of is to check to see if linked objects are being displayed as an icon.

In Word 2000, you click on the object, go to Edit - Object and uncheck display as icon.

There may be a similar function in XP. Try HELP.

Good Luck,

Scott

Not ticked also I went through all file associations but that did not help either.??
