Inserting an Image without using a file?

[news.Microsoft.com]

Hi,

We are building a function that will generate and return an image.

I am able to insert an image that has been saved to a Disk file using:
ActiveDocument.Shapes.AddPicture "C:\PicTest.tif"

My question is how to insert the generated image into an existing document
without first saving it out to a file?

Thanks!

If you can get it on the Clipboard, you can paste it in. But that's the
extent.

(Except where Word 2003 is concerned. If a document is in WordML (instead of
binary doc format) then the image can be put in the XML stream as Base64.)
