Foating picture error message from Word 2002

[eselick]

Hi

I'm being plagued by the following message each time when I insert a
small gif file in my docuements odd and even headers:

"Floating pictures will not display in normal view. Please switch to
print view."

I really am in print view and have even added the following code before
inserting the image.

'Get rid of "Switch to print view message for floating pictures"
ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdPrintView

As soon as the next line executes I get the message.

Set shpHeader = ActiveDocument.Shapes.AddPicture _
(FileName:="C:\ELLIOT\AddressBook\Lines\BD10219_.gif", _
linktofile:=False, savewithdocument:=True, _
Anchor:=rngHeader)


The error is intermittent, but I sure have it at the moment, and with
many sections I have to press Ok about 100 times to create my
docuement.

As usual I truly appreciate any ideas.

Elliot

Hi all,

I seem to have fixed this one by totally cleaning up all the
accumulated macros in this very old file.

Actually I'm running in VB6 and use VBA as a test bed. In any case I
started with a new and empty Word file and no longer get the error.

Hope this helps anyone else getting strange errors.

Elliot
