Hi All,
A couple of weeks ago I put a question to the list about the *extremely*
annoying new
*feature* in Word 2002 wherein when you select Insert -> Picture -> From
File it always defaults to thumbnail view and you have to select
manually "List" or 
"Details" or whatever you want.  No-one appears to have known the answer
but I have just found two solutions and thought I should share them with
the list as I know others have this problem too.

If you go to  http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=301459&FR=1
<http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=301459&FR=1>  this lists
two solutions:  a macro and a hotfix.  I am using the macro attached to
a new button on a toolbar and it's heaven!  Someone from MS will be
contacting me within a couple of days about the hotfix.  Don't know why
you can't just download it. Anyway I hope this info helps someone, it
has certainly made my life easier!
