In word 97, the Paste Special box had a "float over text" box that could be
unchecked. This box is missing from the Word 2000 version, a fact that
sucks. In W2000, after the image is inserted in the document I have to
right-click in the image, select Format Picture, click the Layout tab, and
select Wrapping Style In Line with Text.
If anyone out there knows how to automatically format pictures to have
"float over text" turned OFF in W2000, let me know.
