Is it possible to select images from a list to insert in a form?

[Lizzie]

I am new to forms in word and before I get too involved there is one key feature which I need to make my form workable.



I want the user to be able to select one image from a choice of six that will be inserted into the form.

Is this even possible?

Thank you

What kind of form - userform, or a document with content controls, formfields, or ActiveX controls? Can you attach a document (not just a screenshot) to a post with some representative content (delete anything sensitive)? You do this via the paperclip symbol on the 'Go Advanced' tab at the bottom of this screen.

Hopefully you are creating your form with content controls rather than legacy form fields. This would make the forms easier and faster to process when they are returned, and then you can also use a building block gallery content control for the images.

Save your form as a template. Insert the pictures into the template and size them as required. Select each in turn and press ALT+F3. Save to the current template in the Custom 1 gallery in a new Category 'Pictures'.

Delete the images from the document. Then insert the content control at the required location and point it at the Custom 1 gallery > Pictures.

Then when you click the dropdown, you will see the pictures you have saved, from which to select.

I will have to get up to speed on forms before I can try this but now I know that what I want to achieve is possible I will not be wasting my time. Thank you very much for your prompt response.
