 * 1) Create a new document in Word 2000.
 * 2) On the Tools menu, point to Macro, and then click Record New Macro.
 * 3) In the Record Macro dialog box, type a name for your macro and click OK.
 * 4) On the Insert menu, point to Picture, and then insert a picture.
 * 5) Press SHIFT+BACKSPACE to select the picture.
 * 6) On the Edit menu, click Cut to remove the graphic.
 * 7) On the Edit menu, click Paste Special.
 * 8) In the Paste Special dialog box, click Picture, and then click OK.
 * 9) Select the picture.
 * 10) On the Format menu, click Picture.
