Inserting and sizing a photo with code.

[BRC]

win2k, word 2k
I am working on a template for a report. In the report we include a
different photo in each report. I would like to be able to run a
routine that would display the "insertpicture" dialog, and size the
user's selection and insert it at a specific place in the document. I
am assuming i could use a bookmark to specify where to insert. I am
wondering if I should use some kind of place holder in the template to
make certain that inserting the pic doesn't disturb the formating in
other sections of the report.
I have found several discussions about inserting pics but not how to
set the size at time of insertion. thanks for any direction on this.

Hi BRC,

You could select the bookmark range first and then run something like the
following:

'''shows the pix dialog box
If Dialogs(wdDialogInsertPicture).Show <> 0 Then
'''resizes the shape
Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range.InlineShapes(1).Select
With Dialogs(wdDialogFormatPicture)
.ScaleX = 34
.ScaleY = 34
.Execute
End With
End If

HTH,
Dave
