show icon from .ico file in Word doc
I have an .ico file and I want to show the icon in a word document.
Importing it as a picture via "insert picture from file" doesn't work (file format is not recognised). Any suggestions how I can do this? (I'm using Office XP). Thanks in advance. |

Or use a graphics conversion utility such as SnagIt to convert it to a
compatible format such as GIF. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org CyberTaz wrote: How about InsertObjectCreate from File?

show icon from .ico file in Word doc
This is an option but I still have some editing to do to it because not only
the icon itself is inserted, but also the file name at the bottom of the image created this way. To get rid of the file name I have to crop the image at the bottom. For one icon this wouldn't be a problem, but in the project I'm working on I have to do it for dozens of icons. Therefore I was hoping there was an easier way (with less editing), but I guess this is the easiest way to go. Thanks for your suggestion.

show icon from .ico file in Word doc
This is an option but it requires additional editing and for the project I'm
working on, I have to do it for dozens of icons. I was hoping for an easier way. I will try it to see what the quality of the icon will be. Thanks for your suggestion.

Do you have SnagIt? It can batch convert files from .ico to any number of
other formats. As a test, I just converted a whole folder full of .ico files to .jpg files. I'm sure that SnagIt has a trial version. There are other graphics programs that can do this as well. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Gratje" wrote in message ...
