Default formatting on insert pictures

OOPS - Octal is 3 bit to 1 number - (sorry too much hexidecimal programming)

FORTH (or Forth as some prefer) languages in the mid 60's & 70's (bubble

big kick out of it!

I believe the meaning was to keep a dummy image with the desired text
wrap in the scratch area, making a copy and replacing it with the
desired picture when needed, thus sacrificing the copy of the dummy.

Of course JoAnn (MVP helper) was kidding

She's a great kidder (fun person, playing with words)

I was thinking sacrificial lamb (biblical reference) myself... (much the
same)

and isn't there an "h" in Pittsburg (city in Pennsylvania)?

OOPs - You're as right as my mom when she'd say the same thing - Been in CA
too long... Context may best determines the difference between a "picture of
a sacrifice" and a "sacrifical picture" ;-) Oh well Thanks to all who
answered.

Sho nuff is. But that's on the other side of the state, which is akin to a
foreign country around here. ;-)

You can achieve the same thing by putting a wide border around the image itself,
fill the border white.

Thanks Mary,
I won't be able to try this until Sunday at earliest, but based on what I've
seen from your posts on other subjects, I expect it will work. - Will let you
know...
thanks,

With your cursor in the cell, fill, fill effects, picture tab. The fill menu

next
time you need to fill the picture choice will be the default.

I've published a small (20 page) newsletter for the past couple of years -
Ms
Pub 2000 and now MS Pub 2003.

When I insert a picture (clip art or from file) I need to adjust the
picture
margins from the default (2003 = 0.04") to 0.25". Is there any way to
reset/redefine the default values? I insert about 40 to 50 pictures per
newsletter and get real tired of adjusting each one.

I've though of formatting a sacrifical picture and just inssert over it and
then copy and paste it to where I want it to end up. I'm not sure if this
will work but it seems like a lot of extra work.

Thanks,
Jael

Mary,
Thank you - both solutions work while provioding different approaches.
