Unhappy Macro to select and format all pictures at once

Dear all,

My company has been involved in some trainings. We need to give each trainee a customised certificate.

I know the basics of a mail merge so including each person's first name/name/training dates etc. is completely OK. However, I also have to include a scan of each trainer's signature. I know how to mail merge pictures:

Alt F9
Ctrl ++ F9
INCLUDEPICTURE "" \*MERGEFORMAT\d
Insert my merge field between the ""
Alt F9
Finish mail merge by editing individual files
Ctrl A and F9 so all signatures appear

This works perfectly fine. However, my sample certificate is carefully formatted (it's a Word Table) and I don't want each signature to impact the certificate's structure. So I'd like all signatures to float over text.

Problem:
- I cannot format the Signature mail merge field as it is NOT a picture
- I understand there is no way to select all pictures at once - which would allow me to select Float Over Text only once.

So I guess I need to use a macro. But I know very, very little about macros Can someone help please?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks
