The short answer is you can't, but Bob Buckland came up with the following
macro to set the required parameters
Eg for the insert picture dialog
Sub InsertPicture()
'
' InsertPicture Macro
' by Bob Buckland ?:-)
' 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
SendKeys ("%L{LEFT}D")
Dialogs(wdDialogInsertPicture).Show
End Sub
