Word 2000 graphics not appearing

When I insert a graphic into a Word 2000 document, e. g., pressing 'Print Scrn' on the keyboard and pasting the screen shot into a document, I do not see the image in the document.  I only see a black border where the image is positioned.  I am able to see the image in print preview, and the image does print out, however I do not see the image in Normal or Print Layout view.

Also, I cannot manipulate the image when in Print Layout view. In Word 97 you could click and drag the image to move it around or you could click and drag a "handle" to re-size the image.  I cannot do any of these in Word 2000.
The only way to manipulate the image is to open it in the picture editor.  But then you lose the perspective of the image in relation to the text and the rest of the document.

Is all this a "feature" of Word 2000?  Or is there a problem with my particular installation of Word 2000?

Thank you all in advance for any information.

Thank you, KBMacKenzie, for your answer.  Disabling the  "Picture Placeholders" option did the trick.
