Insert Pictures

[Guest]

Is there a way that when you went to insert a .jpg you could pull up details
versus thumbnails in Word 2002? Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, of course. When you open the Insert > Picture dialog, right-click
and select View > Details from the popup, or use the View button in
the upper right next to Tools and pick Details.

Thank you, I just wasn't specific enough. I know how to do it the way you
mentioned, but is there a setting like in the registry where it would just
always default with the details. I may insert 15-20 pics and it is easier to
just go to the details for the picture number.

On my system (where I just verified it again), the setting stays the
way I put it until I change it -- even through shutting down and
restarting Word.

If this isn't happening for you, you may have a damaged registry
entry. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/DataKeySettings.htm
for information. That article lists keys for Word 97 and Word 2000.
For Word 2002 (XP), substitute "10.0" in place of "8.0" or "9.0".

It is staying put on my system (Word 2003) too, but I distinctly remember
having to use a macro developed by Bob Buckland on an earlier Word version
to force the required setting. Having Googled to find it, the macro is
reproduced below.

Sub InsertPicture()
' Sets the View to (D)etails with SendKeys.
' To set a different default view, change last letter in the SendKeys
command.
' 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}V")
End Sub

It might be influenced by the Windows Explorer setting of both the specific
folder and whether you've checked the box to "Make all folders like this
one." I usually get (and prefer) thumbnails, but ISTR that at some point
when I changed it in Explorer I got something different (though right now
I'm getting Details in Explorer and thumbnails in Word). This issue may also
be related to the other My Pictures issue, of whether Word goes back to the
root every time or retains the previous folder setting, which is determined
by whether or not you have a default folder specified in Tools | Options |
File Locations.

First, I am just getting into macro's, so it is probably my lack of
experience here. I created a new macro and assigned it ctrlP keyboard to it.
When I go into a document and hit the ctrlP combo, all that happens is my
macro instructions print. Does not do anything when I Insert Pictures and
change to details, thumbnails still come up. Any other suggestions would be
appreciated here and thanks.
