Picture layout default

[Bill Haskell]

How can the default for picture layout be changed. The default is currently
set for "Inline with Text" and I always have to change it.

I would prefer to have the default set for "Square" or "Bring to Front". I
have looked at the Formatting Palette>Wrapping>Style area and see no way to
change the default.

Thanks

Hello Bill -

In Mac Word there is no Preference setting for that... which is probably why
you can't find one

One thing that may work is if you open your Normal template, change the
setting there & save. The next time you create a new doc [I believe] it
should work based on the saved setting.

Another option might be to go the macro route, but I'll leave that to
someone else to elaborate on.

Sorry Bill:

We did not get that feature in Word 2004. And Mac Word VBA has not been
updated to enable you to set the property by VBA either.

Sorry: You can't get there from here....

Cheers

....Nope, that ain't gonna work either:-( There isn't any way to get the
template to "hold" the text wrapping options - and as John wrote, it can't
even be controlled with VBA.
