Picture Behind Text Macro

[Owen]

I have an existing macro which copies a picutre that is within my document
and pastes it to another location within the same document.

I want to be able to send the pasted picture "behind text". I have tried to
record a macro to examine the code, however when i access
Format|Picture|Layout, all the options on the Layout tab are disabled.

Appreciate any help you can offer to enable this to occur within my macro
coding.

Thanks

The macro recorder is incapable of this action. An inline shape (I assume
the picture is originally inserted in line) cannot have a wrap option. It
must first be converted to a shape and then the wrap can be applied eg

Dim oShp As Shape
With Selection.InlineShapes(1)
Set oShp = .ConvertToShape
End With
oShp.WrapFormat.Type = wdWrapBehind
