If I paste an image into a Word document, it is only visible in print layout (page mode), not in draft layout (normal view).
But, if I first paste it into Visio and then paste that image into Word, it is visible in both layouts.
I could not find a way to attach a Word document, so I created a screen shot as a JPG. I couldn't get that to upload (I kept getting "The connection was reset"), so I created a shared DropBox folder containing both the Word document and the JPG image. Here's the link:

If I select the first image, I see square handles. If I click on the second image, I see round handles. Clearly, these images are being stored in different formats.
My question is : How can I get all images to display in both print and draft layout?
The "Show picture placeholders" option is not checked.
Thanks

Have you tried "web layout" view ...
I work in it all day long, switching to outline view periodically. Page layout view is essentially useless to me because I rarely print documents today, so I don't need to see "paper margins" and "page breaks"
What you can do is post feedback for Microsoft in the Uservoice forum at http://word.uservoice.com. No one here is in a position to make decisions on Microsoft's behalf.
> Why not work in Print Layout mode? That will show graphics. Frankly there is little justification for working in draft mode with modern PC hardware.
Because I want to see the text and not the layout. I'm trying to get text written and don't need to see formatting, page breaks and other irrelevant noise. What I do need to see is the images.
Your argument is based on 1990's logic, not creating content.
On the contrary, the fact that you are still wittering on about this, three years on, merely suggests that your mother-in-law has you correctly summed up.
