Change default picture position from inline to floating in MS Wor.

[stanj6769]

When I insert graphics in Word 2007, I always want the graphic to be movable,
floatable. But the default setting is inline. It is annoying to have to
always change this manually every time I insert a graphic in a document. How
can I change the default setting so graphics come in as floating, not inline?

Go to Office button > Word Options > Advanced > Cut, Copy, Paste section.
Open the dropdown labeled "Insert/paste pictures as" and select any of the
choices other than In Line With Text.

Thank you. That answered my question perfectly. I wonder why this issue does
not seem to appear (at least I sure couldn't find it) in Microsoft's Help.
