Add Picture to Word Document?

[nfalconer]

Hello,

I am interacting with a Word Document that should be able to have an image
that I specify inserted into the document. I am interacting with the Word
document through the Microsoft Word COM object. I have a good understanding
of how to create the document and insert text and tables, however, the
insertion of images is something that I cannot find a sample or reference
for.

Assuming this is the correct forum for this question, how would I
programatically insert an image into a Word document using the COM
interface?

Thanks.

Hi Nfalconer,

You need the AddPicture method of either the Shapes or InlineShapes
collection. Generally, I prefer to insert InlineShapes, personally.

(The difference is that Word handles InlineShapes like text characters; Shapes
are formatted with "text flow" and are managed in a different document "layer"
along with Drawing objects.)
