Macro for Images in MS Word

[jhurt]

I recorded the following macro to "insert an image from file" the only problem is that it inserts the same image everytime. I would like it open the image from file dialog box and allow me select the image? Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong. I'm still quite new to macros but I'm trying. Thanks a lot!

End Sub

Check out the Dialogs Collection. Help has a list of the Dialogs, along with the arguments.

It puts the same image every time, because that is exactly what you are telling it to do.

Why do you need to do with code?

However, if you actually do, then follow Skip's suggestion. Call a dialog.

What does call a dialog mean? I looked it up in the help file liked Skip suggested but was unable to find anything. I'm missing something, please help!

Did you not find Built-in Dialog Box Argument Lists. It will take you till next Christmas to use them all.

Application.Dialogs(wdDialogInsertPicture).Show

displays the Insert Picture dialog.

" I looked it up in the help file liked Skip suggested but was unable to find anything."

Really? Unable to find anything? Ummmm, what did you look up? Try typing in "dialog" into Help. Start with checking out "Built-in Dialog Box Argument Lists"

There is a Help topic titled.....

"Displaying Built-in Word Dialog Boxes"

which is, it seems to me, exactly what you are asking about. And it is there, in Help, just like Skip suggested.

Try again.
