MS Office Forum / Word / Graphics / March 2008WD 2003: How do I change the default for text wrapping an inserted
When a graphic is inserted, Word automatically chooses to insert it as In Line With Text...I would rather have it as a Tight text wrapping style by default. How do I make this change the default manner in which graphics are inserted? Tools | Options | Edit and change the default wrapping style.  SignatureSuzanne S.

No, I am sorry, I do not. This is a home computer...I am not on a network where administrative sevels would be an issue either. We run XP and Office 2003. > You don't see a selection for "Insert/paste pictures as"? > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > >> > are > >> > inserted? You are looking at the Edit tab of Tools | Options and you do not see an option to "Insert/paste pictures as"? You should have this in *any* edition of Word 2003. It's at the bottom of the "Editing options," right above "Cut and paste options," and has a dropdown list box in which you choose the default wrapping. SignatureSuzanne S.

Suzanne, In Tools > Options > Edit tab I have a section for Editing options offering the following choices: Typing replaces selection, Drag-and-drop text editing, Use the INS key for paste, Overtype mode, Use smart cut and paste, Tabs and backspace set left indent, Allow accented uppercase in French, When selecting, automatically select entire word. I have a drop down box for Picture editor with the choices of Microsoft Word or Microsoft Draw 98 Drawing. The final section in the Edit tab window is labeled Click and type. There is only one item in this section and it is labeled Enable click and type. There is a drop down box in this section for Default paragraph sytle and it is set to Normal (the other choices being Header or Footer) Unfortunately, those are the ONLY things appearing in the Edit tab.

But note that the subject line says Word 2003, and I have mentioned Word 2003 specifically at least once. SignatureSuzanne S.

Ah, please forgive an old dog trying to learn new tricks...like the old proverb says: Don't complain about the coffee--you too may be old and weak someday.

Hi G.A., For Word 2000 you can use a macro to have the equivalent of the built in setting that is in newer Word versions as described here, in method 2: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/209944/en-us ============= I apologize...my home comuter is only 2000, not Word 2003. Is this default change still possible in 2000? >> SignatureBob Buckland ?:-) MS Office System Products MVP *Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends* Bob, you are knowledgeable and kind! I thank you for your macro suggestion. It is just what I was hoping for. With appreciation, G.A. > Hi G.A., > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > I apologize...my home comuter is only 2000, not Word 2003. Is this default > change still possible in 2000? >> |
