Hi,

I was editing a 13-page Word 2000 file that contains a mix of 17 PNG and JPG images, none of which have a border. While editing, I deleted a couple of the images and changed some of the words and then saved the file. I continued editing and in the process I accidentally pressed Ctrl+T. Each of my images was then replaced by a small 1-inch square box.

When I click one of the images and try to move it, the image becomes selected but does not move. Usually, but not always, I get a message saying there is not enough memory to display or print the picture.

So I quit Word 2000 without saving the file, restarted Word, and reopened the file. The small boxes remained. Then I restarted the computer and opened the file but the boxes still remained. I opened the file on a different computer and got the same results.

Then I opened the backup of the file and I was able to see my images.

What might be the problem? I can send a copy of the original and the backup file if needed.
