Insert picture in Wood 2007 64 bit Vista

I am having great difficulty with getting pictures/image inserted into Word 2007 documents. I get the white box. I've searched the internet and found out how to get the white box removed when I'm in .docx, but when I save it to a doc file to send to those not in Word 2007, the image always goes as a white box only. Further, when I get a correction to that document sent back to me, the images again are back to whit boxes, but now cannot be turned transparent.

I am operating primarily Adobe stuff and on Vista Ultimate 64 bit. Any advise is appreciated. By the way, when I use my 32 bit laptop, all the same documents show the image, not the white box.:D

Interesting, several hits, but no reply. Was it in the Title with "Wood 2007" rather than Word 2007? Or was it a stupid question? Still perplexed and certainly no solution.
