Inserting pictures in the right place (and size)

[Wes Grant]

Hello.

I am building a wizard that gathers information from a user including a
picture and several pieces of text for multiple items. After imputting the
pictures and descriptive information for each unit, the wizard builds the
document. Each page should have 1 picture and the descriptive text under
it. The problem is this: When I loop through and place my pictures, they
all end up on the first page and the descriptive data follows the page
breaks as normal.

How can I make sure that the picture is always placed at the top center of
the CURRENT page? I am using activedocument.typetext and
activedocument.inlineshapes.insertpicture methods to build the document.

Thanks in advance for helping this lost newbie!

Try using the inlineshapes.ADDpicture method, and Selection.Range for the
Range argument

I'm Sorry. inlineshapes.ADDpicture method is actually what I was using, but
for some reason all of the pictures end up at the end of the document
instead of staying inline with the text. I tried using selection.range as
the range argument, but no joy. I'm Stumped.

If you do not post your code, it will be difficult to tell what is wrong
with it!

I have discovered the folley of my ways. I was using a loop that ended up
bringing the selection back wards and inserting text before the image.
Thanks for the help.
