Paste inline with text by default
When pasting a graphic, I can't figure out why it sometimes pastes inline
with text but usually it pastes in front of the text. I generally have to select the object and change its layout on the format menu. Is there a way to set a default so that it always pastes inline with text? Thanks. |

Paste inline with text by default
In Word 2002 and 2003, you can select the default wrapping for pasted and
inserted objects (Edit tab of Tools | Options). This does not, however, apply to Paste Special, which usually applies some kind of wrapping (Square, I think). -- Suzanne S.

Paste inline with text by default
Thank you. That explains why it sometimes pastes in line, and other times in
front of the text -- I am sometimes using paste and other times paste special. I have Word 2000 -- it doesn't seem to give the option to change the default wrapping, but its default is apparently in line. "Suzanne S.

Paste inline with text by default
Yes, the option to set the default wrapping style was introduced in Word
2002. The default paste/insert setting was changed from "Float over text" (basically the same as Square) in Word 97 to In Line With Text in Word 2000, confusing thousands of people who then couldn't understand why they couldn't drag their graphics freely. -- Suzanne S.
