Formatting pictures in 3 clicks of your Quick Access Toolbar...
I understand this is an old post... but it is still applicable due to Office 365's shortcomings.
This solution is designed to apply your predefined custom picture format on a new image pasted from the clipboard. (But if you're a savvy Office user, which you are because you are reading this, you can tweak this apporach to your preference.)
Once this approach is set up, it only involves 3 clicks on the Quick Access Toolbar to format your pictures. All the clicks take place in a very small area of your screen - much more efficient than navigating through the tabs and options in the ribbons.
INITIAL SETUP PART 1: Defining your Picture Format
- Insert a picture into your document or email. Format it as to your liking. Select the picture.
- From the Insert tab, click Quick Parts, and click Save Selection to Quick Part Gallery
INITIAL SETUP PART 2: Config your Toolbar
From the Insert tab, click Quick Parts, and right-click your Quick Part
Click Add Gallery to Quick Access Toolbar
Making sure your picture is selected, click on the Format tab
Click on Change Picture, then right-click on From Clipboard
Click Add Gallery to Quick Access Toolbar
Now that you are setup, you can format your new pictures in 2 clicks.... In this case, have your picture on your clipboard, ready to be pasted into your document or email.
- Click the QAT button you added from step 2... your Quick Part gallery will appear; Click on your Quick Part. This adds your predefined formatted picture into your document. Select the picture (I admit I didn't count this as one of the clicks!)
- Click the QAT button you added in step 7. Voila! Your new image now resides in your document with your custom formatting.
