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. -- Jeff Stevens Email address deliberately false to avoid spam |

... 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. -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org |

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. -- Suzanne S.
