Replacing jpg file in each file of a directory

[hklein]

Hello,



I have a task, I need to change the footer of a lot of file in a directory, remove and old jpg a add a new jpg to it.
The jpg is in another document, but of course it can be saved in a separate file.
Could anybody help, pls?


thank you

it will be something like this:

 Selection.InlineShapes.AddPicture FileName:= _
        "H:\My Documents\VBA\picture.jpg", LinkToFile:=False, _
        SaveWithDocument:=True

But how I define, that it will be done in the footer?

You could use code like:

Sub UpdateFooters()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim strFolder As String, strFile As String, Rng As Range
strFolder = GetFolder
If strFolder = "" Then Exit Sub
strFile = Dir(strFolder & "\*.doc", vbNormal)
While strFile <> ""
  Set wdDoc = Documents.Open(FileName:=strFolder & "\" & strFile, _
    AddToRecentFiles:=False, Visible:=False)
  With wdDoc
    With .Sections.First.Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary)
      If .InlineShapes.Count <> 0 Then
        Set Rng = .InlineShapes(1).Range
        With Rng
          .InlineShapes(1).Delete
          .InlineShapes.AddPicture FileName:="H:\My Documents\VBA\picture.jpg", _
            LinkToFile:=False, SaveWithDocument:=True
        End With
      End If
    End With
    .Close SaveChanges:=False
  End With
  strFile = Dir()
Wend
Set wdDoc = Nothing
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
 '
Function GetFolder() As String
    Dim oFolder As Object
    GetFolder = ""
    Set oFolder = CreateObject("Shell.Application").BrowseForFolder(0, "Choose a folder", 0)
    If (Not oFolder Is Nothing) Then GetFolder = oFolder.Items.Item.Path
    Set oFolder = Nothing
End Function

You may want to add a bit more to control the image size too.
