Default Automatically add image to multiple files in multiple folders

Hi there.

I have hundreds of documents and I would like to know if there is an
automated way to add an image file to each document. My goal is to place the
image in a central location, put a bookmark/field/something that would pull
in the image in each doc, and should the image change, have the image in each
document automatically change. (I'm trying to prevent having to manually
remove and add the image to each document.)

Thanks in advance!

Hilary

Are all the documents laid out the same?
Where in the documents do you want the image to be located?
Is the image to be inserted the correct size?
Inserting an IncludePicture field should do the job then should the image
change you would simply replace the old image with a new one of the same
name.

The documents are all laid out the same.
I want the image to be on the bottom of a page. The following text begins on
a new page.
The image is the correct size.
Any tips on an IncludePicture field? I have never done this before.

Thanks!

If all the documents are similar, it should be possible to batch process
them to insert the image in each one using vba.
http://www.gmayor.com/batch_replace.htm provides the basic code required.
You will have to modify it to insert your field. If you need any help with
this I would need to know *exactly* how you want to position the image.
