Behind the times

Behind the times, I know.
I have recently graduated from Office 2000 to 2003. In 2000, when I would
insert a picture I could format it with one or more items (line, line color,
position, etc) and then move on to the next jpg, hit the F4 key and the photo
would have the same formatting.

That doesn't seem to work in 2003. Help files discuss "repeat" on the edit
menu, but it doesn't seem to work on a pic. What am I missing here?

This is going to be a pain to format each picture individually.

I don't have 2003 handy to check, so I'm not sure what the issue is -- or if
maybe F4 (my favorite shortcut!) just really doesn't work on pix in 2003.

Anyway, I do have a workaround for you. Use the Format Painter. You can
double-click to make it "sticky" and format all your pix one after the
other, similar to the way you'd do it with F4. Alternatively, you can use
the eyedropper tools to apply the formatting with one click. You'll have to
add them to your toolbar; they're called Pick Up Style and Apply Style.
