Merge Images into Word 2000 document

[Guest]

Hi,

I have a chapter and a folder full of images. The processing of the chapter
dictates that the images are separate but it is a pain to review that way.
I'd love to know if there is an app available to insert images from a folder
and insert the matching image where a string of text formatted the same way
is located. The image file name and the text in the document are exactly the
same and a special style is used for "figures" and "graphics".

Lacking an app, what would be involved to write one with vba?

I'm still using Word 2000 at this time, luddite...

oops...forgot, afterward I'd like a way to remove all the images, crazy I
know...

What you should do is insert the images and then when you need to remove
them use Find/Replace. Search for graphics (use ^g as your Find What text)
and leave Replace with blank. Using Replace All will delete all graphics in
your document.

While you could potientally use VBA for this it's not going to gain you any
time.

I review a lot of computer manuals that have a similar setup as you have
described. There was a time I would insert the images but now I just keep
the artwork folder open and reference it when I need to view an image. A bit
ackward initally but it doesn't take too long to adapt.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
