Inserting Graphics

S

Scott

I need to insert .jpg files into a word document. When I
bring up the insert menu, I would like it to default to
the details view instead of the thumbnail view. Is there
any way to do this? So far Ive had no luck. Thanks for the
help.

What version of Office are you using? In 2003, this seems
to work:

Choose, say, Insert > Picture > From file. On the dialog
box's toolbar, choose the Views icon and click until you
have the view you want. Insert your graphic. The chosen
view should hold after that.

There's no way you can do this from within Word. It will always revert to
the default view. You can however twist its arm with a macro and the
suggested code, from contributor Bob Buckland, which intercepts the Word
command, is:

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
