I recently upgraded Office from 2010 to 2013. I have a large (700 pages) and complex document that contains text and pictures (inserted as In-Line With Text). The document has two problems:
1) Pictures are no longer visible in Word 2013. I noticed that if I change the view from Web Layout (which is the most suitable view for this particular document) to Print Layout, then the pictures become visible. The following workarounds did not help: - Changing the position/wrapping of the pictures (which are clickable elements, if all white) - using the "convert to latest document format"option (the document is right now in 2013 docx format)
2) In addition, Word reacts very slowly when I edit this document; all actions are very sluggish, with a delay of about 2 seconds, which is frustrating. The following are causes that I've ruled out, or workarounds that don't help for this problem:
- PC performance: same problems affect this doc when opened on other PCs, with other Windows and Word versions
- deleting contents from it till the document remains very small doesn't help
- copy and paste everything into a new document doesn't help
- save as another document (still docx format, or word 2003 DOC format; maitaining compatibility or not) doesn't help
The only workarounds that help (speed of operation becomes normal) are: - deleting most of the contents of the document reduces the sluggishness - viewing the document in Print Layout somewhat reduces the sluggishness
Any suggestions what I can try to get rid of these 2 problems - which seem to be related - for my document?
