Hello Macropod, Thanks for the response. I played with this for a while here and it seems someone has done a good job with this and it would make the process very automated but I think I would rather size each picture individually and have the option to have captions or not on each picture and adjust accordingly. If I can get the hash marks on each page like I spoke of originally, I think that’s all I really need.

There are two sets of code on that page - one lot for inserting images with captions, the other for inserting them without captions. Since Word automatically scales images to fit within the page boundaries, only a minor edit would be required to stop the macro up-scaling undersized images (which Word doesn't automatically do). Regardless, you can re-size the images manually after they've been inserted if you don't like the assigned sizes.
You could put a small, straight, line into the left margin of the page header, then format its vertical position as centered on the page or between the top/bottom margins.
