Default picture format to "inline with text"
Is there any way to make "inline with text" the default format for inserting
pictures? Every time I insert a picture into a word document, I have to reformat the picture so that it doesn't float randomly about. Reformating takes 6 mouse clicks. On average I have to do this about 20 times every working day or about 4000 times per year or about 60,000 times or 360,000 mouse clicks in the last 15 years since MicroSoft downgraded this feature. It takes about 2 seconds each time which means that I have spent 33-1/3rd hours doing this. |

Default picture format to "inline with text"
Thanks for the suggestion but "Insert/Paste picture as: In Line with text" is
not listed on the tools\options\edit tab in Word 2000. Any suggestions other than upgrading?

The macro Sub EditPasteSpecial() works, my coworkers are amazed.
Thank you, this has been the bane of my existence.

Default picture format to "inline with text"
Harvey and Suzanne,
Thank you for the responses. I commonly paste graphics from Excel and from CAD programs as pictures to avoid problems with font resizing and CPU freezup. From the article posted at http://word.mvps.org/FAQS/DrwGrphcs/InlinePasteSpec.htm, it appears that Word 2002 and above can be fooled with a macro. The article does not mention Word 2003 or 2007. Do you know if pictures can pasted InLine using the paste special command by Word 2003 or 2007 or whether these newer versions will tolerate macro workarounds? "Suzanne S.

The macro (which should work in all versions) is necessary only for Paste
Special. As previously stated, you can select the default wrapping for Insert and Paste on the Edit tab of Tools | Options. Unfortunately, Paste Special defaults to Square or some other wrapping depending on the default format for the Clipboard contents. -- Suzanne S.

Default picture format to "inline with text"
As Suzanne noted, as of Word 2002 you have the option to set how you want
images pasted by default, such as inline, square, tight, behind text, etc. There's no need for Paste Special or other workarounds. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.
