Solution:
After you open the document in Microsoft Word 2000, you need to manually restore the pictures in your document using the following steps and methods.
1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and click the Save tab.
2. Clear the Allow fast saves check box.
3. On the File menu, click Save As and save the document with a new name. Restore the pictures in this new document, and use this new version of the document from now on.

Method 1:
Replace the Picture from the Original Source File
1. Select and then delete the red X from the document.
2. On the Insert menu, point to Picture, and click From File.
3. Select the original picture file and click OK.

Method 2:
Open the Picture in Picture Editor; Paste It Back in the Document
1. Double-click the picture to open it in the picture editor.
2. On the Edit menu, click Select All.
3. On the Edit menu, click Copy.
4. On the File menu, click Close & Return to document.
5. In Word, click Paste on the Edit menu.

Method 3:
Refresh the Field Results
If the picture is linked, refresh the field results.
For example, when you view field codes, you see a field similar to either of the following fields:
{IMPORT c:\\Clipart\\Picture.pcx}
-or-
{INCLUDEPICTURE C:\\Clipart\\Picture.pcx}
NOTE: To view field codes in your document, press ALT+F9.
Make sure that the picture file (in this example: Picture.pcx) exists in the Clipart folder. Then select the field and press F9 to update the field.
Updating the field causes the graphics filter to read the picture again. When this occurs, the picture display is refreshed and the red X is replaced with the expected picture.
