When editing a document in Word 7 at my client, I insert pictures, usually of small icons, inline with text. This tends to give me more precision in the positioning of pictures than in front of text.



However, I cannot see them unless I view the document in Full Screen Reading mode where I cannot edit them. I do need to adjust the vertical position of the embedded graphics.

The only other solution I have is to position the graphics in front of the text- this entails playing with the paragraphing and creates an unstable Word document.

Is there a setting in the Options menus that would allow me to view imported pictures in inline with text?

In the recent past I worked in Word 2013 and 2010 at other clients without encountering this problem.

Have you checked the picture insertion options under Word Options|Advanced>Insert/paste picture as?
There you'll find options for inline, etc. I'd suggest using either that, square or tight. Word 2007 & later all have this option.

When I looked in Advanced Options, as you directed, I found that had selected view picture place holders. When I cleared that selection, I was able to view my inline graphics in the editor (not only in Full Screen Reading).

Thanks a lot anyway.
