Insert pictures in completed document
I have to create text documents and then insert photographs at various
positions - lined up with the left or right margins within the various paragraphs. No matter how I insert the pictures, I can't get them to stay where I want them or to be the size I need them. Would it be possible to use frames for this rather than just "insert picture from file"? I have tried this but the picture never fits into the frame. Any ideas would be appreciated. TIA |

Insert a one cell table of the required dimensions at the locations where
you want the picture to appear and then insert the picture into that cell. -- Hope this helps.

Thanks, Doug, I have tried that but even when I make the cell height an
exact measurement, the photograph is not resized to fit. Also, when I insert the table cell into the text, the text does not wrap around the picture in the cell. I am obviously missing something here! "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote in message ...

I have been trying various things and 'googling' help for photos in
paragraphs but have not cracked this one yet. Any help would be much appreciated. "oe" wrote in message ...

In the table properties dialog, you can set the text wrapping for the table.
As far as sizing the picture is concerned, to do it "automatically", you would need a macro and the following may help: 'Insert Logo on Title Page myDoc.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).R ange.Tables(1).Cell(1, 1).Range.Delete myDoc.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).R ange.Tables(1).Cell(1, 1).Range.InlineShapes.AddPicture _ Filename:=txtLargeLogoPath 'Adjust size of logo to match the avalable space oheight = myDoc.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).R ange.Tables(1).Cell(1, 1).Range.InlineShapes(1).Height owidth = myDoc.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).R ange.Tables(1).Cell(1, 1).Range.InlineShapes(1).Width If oheight InchesToPoints(2) Then With myDoc.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).R ange.Tables(1).Cell(1, 1).Range.InlineShapes(1) .Height = InchesToPoints(2) .Width = owidth * InchesToPoints(2) / oheight End With End If oheight = myDoc.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).R ange.Tables(1).Cell(1, 1).Range.InlineShapes(1).Height owidth = myDoc.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).R ange.Tables(1).Cell(1, 1).Range.InlineShapes(1).Width If owidth InchesToPoints(2.85) Then With myDoc.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).R ange.Tables(1).Cell(1, 1).Range.InlineShapes(1) .Width = InchesToPoints(2.85) .Height = oheight * InchesToPoints(2.85) / owidth End With End If -- Hope this helps.
