The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
We made a macro that mimics the Paste Special dialog
box with the Float over text check box cleared.
After recording or writing the macro you can hook it
up to your toolbars, menus, or keyboard however you
like.
Alas, there is no way to stop Word 97 from using
this default. They did change it in Word 2000.
