Insert-Picture-From File... default file view

Dallas V.

In Word 2002, whenever I use Insert-Picture-From File...
the default view for files is the Thumbnails view. I
would desperately like to change this to Details view.
Is this possible and, if so, how?

Hi Dallas,

You can use this macro
to have Word 2002 display the
Insert=>Picture=>From File dialog in the
view of your choice and avoid the delay of
creating/displaying all the thumbnails

As shown it will display the Details view

'========
Sub InsertPicture()

' 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
