Clickable Image?

[Claudine]

Hi, me again,

You've all been so helpful I can't stop myself. ;-)

I thought I could make a small icon in the document that
the user could click on to launch the "insert image"
command. Has my brain ceased working or is this not
something I can do?

Please advise,

Thanks! Claudine

Hi Claudine,

If you need to have this *in* the document, you can use a picture as the
"display text" of a MacroButton field that launches the InsertPicture
command:

{ MacroButton InsertPicture <image here> }

But when you use it, the inserted picture will replace the MacroButton
field, so it's a one-use-only gizmo.

If you want something you can use over and over, add a button to a toolbar.
See these articles for help:

Again, the command you want to use is InsertPicture (found in either the
Insert category or the All Commands category).
