Hi Sue,

Someone (can't remember who) sent a macro to the list about
this. I think it was the following:

Sub InsertPicture()
'
' InsertPicture Macro
' Inserts a picture from a graphics file.
' Sets the View to (D)etail with SendKeys.
'  View choices [change last Sendkey Letter].
'    D - (D)etails view
'    G - Lar(g)e Icon view
'    L - (L)ist view
'    M - S(m)all Icon view
'    R - P(r)operties View
'    V - Pre(v)iew View
'    T - (T)humbnails View

  SendKeys ("%L{LEFT}D")
   Application.Dialogs(wdDialogInsertPicture).Show

End Sub

See how that goes.
Sonja

Subject: atw: Word 2002/2003 questions


Hello everyone,

I have recently started using Word 2002 and have discovered
a couple of=20
annoyances that I can't seem to solve.

When I insert a picture from a file:

1. Word insists on displaying thumbnails rather than a list
of files. I=20
cannot find an option to change this setting permanently.
(I can change it=20
just for this one insertion using the Tool menu on the
Insert Picture=20
dialog).

2. When I try to insert a subsequent picture, Word
"helpfully" returns me=20
to the folder set up as the default file location for
clipart, instead of=20
the last location I inserted a picture from.

Can anyone help? I am sure the answers are simple, but if
they are, they=20
are very well hidden!

Many thanks,

Sue Woolley
