Inserting images

[James E Middleton]

Is there a way, or an add in, that will insert one image per page?

I have a 42 page document and I want to add 42 different images, one per
page.

I don't know any add-in, but I'm pretty sure this could be done quite easy
with a macro...

Thanks, that's a start......

Hey, anyone know how to write a macro for this?!

If you have Publisher 2003 or later, this may be easier to do with the
Catalog Merge.

Create a text file list of all the files you want to insert.
Create a Catalog Merge Area the size of your page (inside margin
guides), merging from the text file list.
Add an image field, resize to fill the area.
Merge to a new publication.

By this time he coulda manually inserted the images into those pages

Ed,

This was my first shot at catalogue merge. I made a text file with the names
of the images as you suggested and could get the text to display, but not
the pictures. Anyway, I wound up making and Excel sheet with the file name,
file name with extension, and path. I used the Excel sheet as a data source.
It didn't work the first few times I tried, but then suddenly... there they
were, like magic! Still don't know what happened, but I have 44 pictures on
44 pages and for now I'm satisfied, although I don't know if I'll be able to
recreate it... <grin>

Thanks for your suggestion, I've tried merge before and given up, and
wouldn't have tried again unless you suggested it.

Cheers!

U.G., I see the wink, but you are right, the first time around was tough, it
took me the better half of the morning to do it.

With the new material I am making, I'm looking at this task twice a week for
a year... I just couldn't bear the thought of inserting, aligning, and
resizing 44 images every time I set up a new print.

Even the method I used took some time and I started to wonder...

But now I have a template!

I put the data source (an Excel worksheet) and the images in one folder.

I converted the pages from an Adobe Acrobat document to .tif, naming them
'cat', and Adobe added a 'Page_00' to the files. Then I dropped the tifs
into the folder for the merge.

Cool thing: As long as I keep the 'cat' series name, I can change the
pictures as much as I want without having to start from scratch, just keep
swapping files from the data source folder.
