Setting "Behind Text" Property for a Picture Programatically

[JohnJohn]

Hello.

I am inserting a picture to a Word document opened through VBA from a Visual
Basic program. I am using the InlineShapes.AddPicture method to insert the
picture.

What I would like to do is to set the layout wrapping style for the picture
to "Behind text" as you can do through the Word interface (by right-clicking
the picture, selecting the "Layout" tab, and clicking "Behind text") . But I
want to do it with code only, as the Word interface is hidden during runtime.

Anyone know how to do that? Haven't been able to find much info in the
internet.

Thanks!
John

InlineShapes do not have the property of layout wrapping..

Instead, you will need to insert your picture as a Shape.

ActiveDocument.Shapes.AddPicture("C:\....")

Then you can set the zOrder of the Shape to send it backward
