Hi Chubby,
What is the run-time error '4198' Command failed caused by?

This error appears when I run insert an OLE object with the following macro:
Selection.InlineShapes.AddOLEObject ClassType:="MS_ClipArt_Gallery.5"
Click to expand...
Command failed is basically telling you Word can't execute the command in its
current state. Perhaps the cursor is in something where you can't execute the
command, for example.

In this case... I'm not certain a ClipArt can be inserted as an InlineShape.
Does it work if you use the Add for the SHAPES collection, instead?

Which version of Word/Office is this?
