Hi Graham,

Thank you for your insight on this. It's very helpful. I've applied the Macro to Word 2010 and it works great. However, I was wondering if you know of a way to modify this code to enable it to center the images within the table cells, upon inserting them. Furthermore, is there a way to distribute the vertical layout of the images to span equally across the page, from top to bottom. I suppose this would involve maximizing the height of the rows to consume the full length of each page. Is this possible?

I'm just trying to clean up the presentation. Because every time I use this Macro, I have to go in after I insert the pictures and center them within the table; then, adjust the height of the rows to distribute them equally from the top to the bottom of the page.

Thank you for your time and assistance. It's much appreciated.

Sincerely,

Eric

Hello!

I need to put in multiple photos from a file in my reports, and i would like
them to be sized to fit 6-10 per page. Is there any way to do that in one
simple step?

Thanks!

It depends on your definition of simple. In order to control the layout of
the images you need to insert them in a table of fixed cell width. The
images will then adapt to the width of the cell. How many will fit of a page
is determined by whether the images are portrait mode or landscape mode - or
mixed modes.

The following macro will insert a two column table at the cursor and proceed
to enter all the images that you select from the dialog into the cells of
that table. You can experiment with the number of columns in the table, but
somewhere between 1 and 3 will do the job.

Sub InsertMultipleImages()
Dim fd As FileDialog
Dim oTable As Table
Dim sNoDoc As String
Dim vrtSelectedItem As Variant
If Documents.Count = 0 Then
sNoDoc = MsgBox(" " & _
"No document open!" & vbCr & vbCr & _
"Do you wish to create a new document to hold the images?", _
vbYesNo, "Insert Images")
If sNoDoc = vbYes Then
Documents.Add
Else
Exit Sub
End If
End If
'add a 1 row 2 column table to take the images
Set oTable = Selection.Tables.Add(Selection.Range, 1, 2)
oTable.AutoFitBehavior (wdAutoFitFixed)
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
With fd
.Title = "Select image files and click OK"
.Filters.Add "Images", "*.gif; *.jpg; *.jpeg; *.bmp; *.tif; *.png"
.FilterIndex = 2
If .Show = -1 Then
oTable.Cell(1, 1).Select
For Each vrtSelectedItem In .SelectedItems
With Selection
.InlineShapes.AddPicture FileName:= _
vrtSelectedItem _
, LinkToFile:=False, SaveWithDocument:=True, _
Range:=Selection.Range
.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell
End With
Next vrtSelectedItem
Else
End If
End With
If Len(oTable.Rows.Last.Cells(1).Range) = 2 Then
oTable.Rows.Last.Delete
End If
Set fd = Nothing
End Sub

Also, with regard to Graham's response, you can use thumbnail view in Windows
Explorer, and simply drag and drop desired thumbnails one by one into each
individual desired table cell.
