I have 2 questions about inserting pictures from file into a Word
2002 doc and about inserting frames.

2? I count 4 - but nobody expected the Spanish Inquisition g.

1. Is there an easy way to know if the image inserted by
"Insert/Picture/From file" was inserted as an embedded image (what
I want) or as a link in the document?

Alt-F9 will show field codes. If the picture is linked you will see
(and can search for) an INCLUDEPICTURE field. If the picture is in
the document you'll see the picture.

(There is also an EMBED field - this is *not* the same as having the
picture unlinked and saved in the document. It means that the
picture is embedded an editable object. This can happen accidentally
via paste, or by using Insert Object instead of Insert Picture.
Unless there are special reasons for needing an embedded object, it
is usually a Bad Thing.)

Can the default be made "embed" (i.e. copy
into document)?

What version of Word are you using? In 2002 and 2003 at least (I
thought also 2000) saving in the file unlinked is what you get when
you click the Insert button on the dialog. The other options are
available on a dropdown menu beside the Insert button.

2. When I insert a caption to an image, the caption is written in
bold. How do I change that to normal?

Change the Caption style.

3. Is there a way to change the default for "Insert frame" so that
it has no
lines for borders in the frame it inserts?


I don't believe there is. Depending on what you are trying to do,
you might find setting the frame format as part of a paragraph
style, or saving a formatted frame as an AutoText, achieves what you
want. Another option is to use a macro to remove borders.
