Insert Multiple Pictures?

[skippi]

In Word 2000 is it possible to insert multiple pictures into a document
rather than having to do it one at a time. I have 700 pictures in gif format
that are pictures of each page in a book. Doing one "page picture" at a time
is a real pain. Why can't I select several at a time and then drop them into
the document and they become a series of one picture page after another
rather than drop them in and they become an embedded file or link?

I'm using 2003 now, but if I recall correctly, I could do this in 2000
without problem. Open the Insert Picture from File, then use the ctrl
or shift keys to grab multiple files. Does this not work? Are you
able to select multiple files? If so, multiple files are not being
inserted?

It would have made perfect sense for MS to have made it work this way, but
you can't select multiple pics this way ... only one at a time. The Ctrl and
Shift key have no effect in this menu.
