Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

I am running into an issue with Word 2008 after recently upgrading from 2004.  (BTW it is way faster now that it is a Universal Binary) <br><br>When I open old DOC files with images in them the images are always gone.  I don't have a ton so I can't say if the image formats are all the same, they are basic GIF or BMP style graphics from what I remember.  I can't see them in print layout mode, print preview, and they are missing when I print.  I have checked to make sure it is not using the image placeholders.  The image does show when I do <spacebar> preview function in OS X.   <br><br>I thought maybe it was an upgrade issue so I opened the file in Office 2007 on my PC and it opens fine other than a few formatting changes.  I edited the file and saved it on the PC as a DOCX and it looks fine there.  I transfered it to my Mac and still no go.  I also recently received a DOC in an email that I happened to see a hard copy of and it is missing the images there as well.  It seems all images are gone. <br><br>Any suggestions?

Have you checked in Word> Preferences> Print to confirm that 'Drawing
Objects' is checked? As well as 'Print background colors & images'? What
about the check in the View preferences for 'Background colors & images in
Print Layout view'?

Also, confirm that you have the latest updates applied for both Office as
well as OS X & check the mfr's site for an updated printer driver. Be sure
to run Disk Utility - Repair Disk Permissions after any updates.
