I'm looking to apply a condition to the appearance of a picture.
Alternatively, maybe I can dynamically format the picture so it does
not show based on a condition.
You don't need a macro for this. Create a custom document property (in File
Properties > Custom), let's say you call the property ShowPic. Let's
assume you make it a Number type and give it the value 1.
In the body of the document, insert an IF field inside which you nest (using
Ctrl+F9 to create the field braces) a DocProperty field:
{ IF {DocProperty ShowPic} = 1 [picture] }
Where I've shown [picture], paste in the picture itself.
When you update the field, the picture will appear.
If you now go back to the File > Properties dialog and change the value of
the ShowPic property to anything else, say 0, then update the field again,
the picture will disappear. Put the property value back to 1, update the
field, and the picture reappears.
There are other ways to do this, such as using a DocVariable field with a
document variable (which is accessible only from VBA), or using a Ref field
with the value of a bookmark, possibly one that's set by an ASK field. You
can even make it conditional on the value of a DATE field -- for example, if
the field is
{IF {DATE \@ DDDD} = "Tuesday" [picture]}
then the picture will appear on Tuesdays and be invisible on other days. I
don't know what you'd use that for, but Word can do it.
