Why picture gone?

Hi, I am using Word 2000 on windows 2000.

I encountered a lot of trouble to past a gif picture (size 16k) on to a
document. Sometime it cannot be pasted, sometimes it only shown part of the
edges. later, when the edge shown, by modify the picture position, it was
shown. I saved the file immediately. But when I work on the other part of
the document and return to where the picture should be, the picture has
gone!

Recently, the word also has a strange behavior, it often post a message
saying "this operation cannot be completed, because the "file name" -
Microsoft Word program is busing. Please chose "switch to" and correct this
problem.", but "switch to" or "retry" never solve any problem. this
typically happens when I want to "save as" or open another word document
from an opened file.


What's wrong with the word?

Thanks!
 
Min,
First I would suggest to always save your picture to your hard drive and
insert it with Insert - Picture - from file. Maybe you are doing this
already but you never know.

By the way is the message you are getting caused when you paste the image.
Or does it occur in other circumstances. What version of Word are you using?

Thank you for your reply.
1)I did saved the picture to hard disk then inserted. It seems because the
view is not set to print view.Thank you!
2)The message is not specifically related to the picture problem.
Now it occures when I open the "options" or other dialog windows to set
parameters, almost everytime. I am using word 2000 on windows 2000.
