How to assign a macro to a picture in Word?

I want to learn how to assign a macro to a picture in Microsoft Word. I have searched the internet and have been pointed to using “Macro button filed” and pasting the picture the macro is to be assigned to it, as its “display text” (see here. The second answer).

But when I do this process, it fails to do the job for me. (When I right click on the field and choose “toggle fields codes and “{}” disappear and just the picture remains, I see nothing is assigned to the remaining picture . See the attached file in which I want to assign the “test” macro to the picture.). Can you guides me on this issue?

Insert an activeX button from the Developer tab. Call your macro from the button code and from the button's properties add the image - see attached
