Default Inserting pictures questions

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

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

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

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?

Thanks.

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.

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.

Note that an INCLUDEPICTURE field will not be seen (though it may exist)
unless the picture is In Line With Text. If it's wrapped, it must be made
inline before you can see the field code.
