MS Office Forum / Word / Graphics / December 2005Picture format layout
How do I change default picture layout so it does NOT move w/text When i put a piccy into a doc i always do the following to have it move freely (mostly cos i do photo album pages wth Word) from Insert->Picture>From File... picture Right click picture select Format Picture... click Layout Tab click In front of text click Advanced... button Picture Position Tab In Options deselect 'Move object with text' ok ok Now you can drag the picture any place you like without disturbing the text/ I have tried to make this into a macro but it didnt work in Word 2000, havent tried recently. Phil. > How do I change default picture layout so it does NOT move w/text FWIW, if you have inserted a lot of pictures that you want to have the same position, you can go through this process for one, then select the next and F4. It's also possible that you can copy and paste the format (Ctrl+Shift+C and Ctrl+Shift+V or use the Format Painter).  SignatureSuzanne S.

What I really want is to change the Default for th picture layout.

I recently discovered another shortcut: you can add an Insert Picture button to your toolbar that gets you through Insert | Picture | From File. I suspect this probably *is* available in Word 2000.

But it still inserts pictures defaulted as anchored to text. Now the Tool | Options | Edit just so happens to get the job done!! The pictures are still anchored to text, but are no longer "In Line With Text", and that is a HUGE step forward. I can co-exist with this fix... Thank you, Thank You for relieving one of life's frustrations.
