inserting an image at current position

stewarto · #1 03-20-2017, 05:31 AM

I have a macro which inserts an image at the current position but since a short while it inserts at the top of the page!

Can anyone help?

myperson = "john_doe"
myfile = "g:\office\files\" + myperson + ".bmp"
ActiveDocument.Shapes.AddPicture(Anchor:=Selection .Range, FileName:=myfile, _
LinkToFile:=False, SaveWithDocument:=True).WrapFormat.Type = wdWrapSquare

Try this instead:

Code:

Sub InsertPicture()
myperson = "john_doe"
myfile = "g:\office\files\" + myperson + ".bmp"
Selection.InlineShapes.AddPicture FileName:= _
        myfile, LinkToFile:=False, _
        SaveWithDocument:=True

End Sub

Although this may lose your wrap format. Is that something you need?

Thanks for your help, dwirony, but I get the following error (translated from the original Dutch)

error -2147467259 (80004005)
Method AddPicture of object InlineShapes failed

Strange - It's working fine on my computer. Are you sure you have the right filepath?

Yes. The filepath works with my macro, but it puts the image at the top of the page

So it was working fine before but now it is not? Is it because there is a space between "Selection" and ".Range"?

Code:

Anchor:=Selection .Range

Can you try removing that space?

Sorry, it was FFS (fat finger syndrome).

The space does not exist in the real macro.

I'm afraid that with my limited knowledge I cannot help you...

Hopefully someone like gmaxey or macropod will come along and solve your mystery
