Making a Template in Word for Photos
I need to make a Photo Contact sheet that will incorporate two photos per
page that can be imported in a batch and then a caption added for each photo. Plus a header at the top. This form will be used repeatedly. I've tried using the template instructions that I've found but I'm not getting the option to batch import. It is very important that this be done in Word or Excel as the rest of the report will be done in Word. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

Answer: Making a Template in Word for Photos
Sure, I can definitely help you create a template in Word for a photo contact sheet. Here are the steps you can follow:
Now you can use this template to create new photo contact sheets by opening the template and replacing the placeholder photos and captions with your own. You can also print multiple copies of the contact sheet by selecting "Print" from the "File" tab and choosing the number of copies you want to print.

Making a Template in Word for Photos
Create a new folder and put in it the image files you wish to insert.
Ensure that the folder ONLY contains the images you wish to insert!!! Create and save a template containing a single table cell of fixed dimensions suitable to accommodate one of your images, but small enough to fit two cells to a page. Change the line Set oDoc = Documents.Add("d:\Word 2007 Templates\Test1.dotx") to reflect the path/name of your template (you could use Word 2003 dot format) Then run the following macro. Pick the folder with the images and clock OK to insert all the images and their filenames contained in the selected folder into the table (new cells of the same size will be created for each new image). Sub BatchProcess() Dim strFileName As String Dim strPath As String Dim oDoc As Document Dim fDialog As FileDialog Set fDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker) With fDialog .title = "Select folder and click OK" .AllowMultiSelect = False .InitialView = msoFileDialogViewList If .Show -1 Then MsgBox "Cancelled By User", , _ "List Folder Contents" 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 If Left(strPath, 1) = Chr(34) Then strPath = Mid(strPath, 2, Len(strPath) - 2) End If strFileName = Dir$(strPath & "*.*") Set oDoc = Documents.Add("d:\Word 2007 Templates\Test1.dotx") While Len(strFileName) 0 oDoc.Tables(1).Cell(oDoc.Tables(1).Rows.Count, 1).Range.Select Selection.InlineShapes.AddPicture _ FileName:=strFileName, _ LinkToFile:=False, _ SaveWithDocument:=True With Selection .Collapse wdCollapseEnd .TypeParagraph .TypeText Text:=strPath & strFileName .MoveRight Unit:=wdCell End With strFileName = Dir$() Wend oDoc.Tables(1).Cell(oDoc.Tables(1).Rows.Count, 1).Delete End Sub http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm Andrea wrote: I need to make a Photo Contact sheet that will incorporate two photos per page that can be imported in a batch and then a caption added for each photo.
