How do i create a "form field" for a jpeg instead of for text?

[osjillings]

I am currently using Microsoft Word 2000 and am setting up a 'template'
document for other people to use. In order to gain consistency in the
documents, it has beens et up using form fields. In this way I was hoping to
protect the font, size, style and type of text etc. I have now got to the
position where all my text is fine. However, I am struggling because all the
documents will need one photo on (saved in Jpeg format). Each document will
have a different image although again I am hoping to protect the size,
border, justification, location etc of that photo. Effectively I would like
someone to be able to click (or double-click!) the template image and be
presented with a browse menue to select a jpeg to replace the template one.
Is this possible and how!?

You will need a macro that unprotects the document, then shows the
Insert>Picture dialog then reprotects the document. I would suggest that
you insert a bookmark at the place where you want the picture to be
inserted.

ActiveDocument.Unprotect
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Picture").Range.Select
Dialogs(wdDialogInsertPicture).Show
ActiveDocument.Protect

For a sample template that does this, download the form_picture item
from http://jay-freedman.info.

Thanks for the download but when you open the program/template, it says
macros are not enabled and we can not get them to work!!! Help!!!!???

Save the file in your templates folder. To find the location, select
Options from the Tools menu and then select File Locations.
