Word : Embed File

[Lemox]

Hi,

I want to embed a file (displayed as an icon) into a Word Document (VB6).
I use the WordDocument.Shapes.AddOLEObject method.

My problems are :
-the file is never really embedded : it always acts as a Link to the file (even if I set the "Link" parameter to False explicitly)
-I can't position it at the current insertion point : the file always sticks to the top of the page.

I almost never work with Word so it's not easy to understand the options of the AddOLEObject method (Shapes, Anchor,...)

Can someone tell me how to do it right ?

Thanx in advance.

You may do the job manually from within word while the macro recorder is running, and then take a look at the generated VBA code.

Hope This Helps, PH.
