Taking Pictures from Word and Populating Imageboxes in a Userform
Thanks Doug for the tip. The method you provided works
great if you hard code both the file path and specific
graphic file into the VB code. However, I'm trying to
come up with code to automatically populate the Image
Control box with some "variable" graphics file shown in
the Word doc.
I tried playing around with the INCLUDEPICTURE field, but
I'm guessing that this field property only works if you
hard code the file path of the picture you want. Is there
a way, or some code using variables, to pick up the
picture from a Word doc by using some field property
and/or bookmarks?
My ultimate purpose is to be able to change the picture on
the UserForm, insert it back into a specific location on
the Word doc, and then update the same picture across
multiple document templates, i.e. changing the company
logo across multiple company document templates. Sorry
about this being so long-winded, but I'm really stuck.
Thanks.
