Note that the search string
"for your successful achievement.^pManager of Project X"
is a literal string. It must be the *exact* string in your documents (^p is
a paragraph ending) in order for the macro to find it.

Graham,
I am sorry to admit it but I read all thru your website link at the
bottom of your most kind post, and I don't know in which document to
save the macro or if it even would be saved into a document?
I am a beginner VBAer. On another note, where or what is a good
course to go to learn VBA? So I have two questions: where to plug
the macro is the other.
Thanks!!

Oh WOW!! I can't wait to test it out. Something like this was
what I was hoping for. Thanks!

While I agree with Doug that re-merging would be the better option
- if applicable, the following macro will do as you asked. Define
the path to your signature file at sSig =
Put (COPIES OF) the documents in a new folder and run the macro.
Select that new folder at the prompt.

Sub AddSig()
Dim strFileName As String
Dim strPath As String
Dim oDoc As Document
Dim sFind As String
Dim sSig As String
Dim fDialog As FileDialog

Set fDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
sFind = "for your successful achievement.^pManager of Project X"
sSig = "D:\My Documents\My Pictures\Signature.tif"

With fDialog
.Title = "Select Folder containing the documents to be modified
and click OK"
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.InitialView = msoFileDialogViewList
If .Show -1 Then
MsgBox "Cancelled By User"
Exit Sub
End If
strPath = fDialog.SelectedItems.Item(1)
If Right(strPath, 1) "\" Then strPath = strPath + "\"
End With

If Documents.Count 0 Then
Documents.Close SaveChanges:=wdPromptToSaveChanges
End If

strFileName = Dir$(strPath & "*.doc")
While Len(strFileName) 0
Set oDoc = Documents.Open(strPath & strFileName)
With Selection
With .Find
.ClearFormatting
.Text = sFind
.Replacement.Text = ""
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Execute
End With
.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
.HomeKey Unit:=wdLine
.InlineShapes.AddPicture FileName:=sSig, _
LinkToFile:=False, _
SaveWithDocument:=True
.TypeParagraph
End With
oDoc.Close SaveChanges:=wdSaveChanges
Set oDoc = Nothing
GetNextDoc:
strFileName = Dir$()
Wend

I want it placed centered horizontally and centered vertically

for your successful achievement.


and the second line is
Manager of Project X

Thanks!

This is not a job for mail merge, but if the documents are all
similar in layout, the graphic is the correct size and will be
inserted in the same place in each document, it should be possible
to achieve that with a batch process using vba. Where *exactly* do
you want the graphic to be placed.
