VBS Image Replacement - Appearing as Gray Box with Filename
Hi I'm hoping someone can assist me with an issue I'm having with MS Word and image replacements with VBS. The script itself works fine on one machine, yet copied to another machine with another installation of Office 2007 (same OS) it ends up having issues with replacing images. The script looks like the below: With oWordApp .Documents.Open("C:\Template.doc") .Documents(1).Activate() .ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = 9 .ActiveWindow.Selection.HeaderFooter.Shapes(2).Lin kFormat.SourceFullName = "C:\test_logo.bmp" .ActiveWindow.Selection.HeaderFooter.Shapes(2).Sel ect .ActiveWindow.Selection.Fields.Update ..... The script works fine on another system running the same version of Word 2007 (same OS). The script runs and completes, but the image for some reason doesn't seem to come through and looks like it's unsupported. On the other machine, where it works, the image comes out fine, but on this one installation it appears like this in the processed Word document: The file is a BMP image file made in MS Paint so support shouldn't be a problem, and drag 'n' drop of the image works, as well as the 'Insert' method. I don't believe the script is the issue since it works on another machine, and the image file and template are identical over the two machines. Is there some Word 2007 configuration that fixes this? Or is there some easy way to compare the Office Installations? |

Solved
[SOLVED]
The issue was with Microsoft Paint itself, uninstalling and reinstalling it from the Windows OS with the Windows CD fixed the issue. For some reason the Bitmap image, although rendered in a drag and drop, could not be inserted as an 'object' into MS Word, so the dynamic link assignment also failed. The aforementioned solution fixed this - I would not have thought that MS Word 2007 relied on MS Paint itself for some Bitmap background work, but it appears to function that way in this case. |
