Does the problem persist if you close VB6, then reopen it?
Best wishes,

HBi Sal21.
It might be because you unintentionally tapped the function key <F4>.
This is what I see in the VBA Editor in Word2003:-

Have you tried F4 as advised by ChrisGreaves? If that didn't appear to work it is probably because you have managed to position the properties window offscreen ...

VB6 doesn't have an inbuilt method to reset all the positions of the various windows, but you can achieve something similar by editing the registry.

Make sure VB6 is closed. Run the registry editor, Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic\6.0, find the entry called Dock and delete it. Restart VB6. All windows should have reverted to their default positions and sizes, which should mean the reappearance of the Properties window

The screenshot in Sal's first post shows the Properties window, but its contents are not correct: the properties for Image3 only list (Name).
Best wishes,
