Using a macro to insert a clipart object into a word template

[Guest]

Hope someone can helpout

I'm trying to use a macro to insert a clipart object into a template facsimile masthead, and really haven't got much of an idea how to do it

1) I need to save the clipart image onto a floppy; and
2) Write the appropriate macro code to insert this clipart image into the appropriate cell in a table on the fax masthead

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Instead of trying to do this on the fly, you should create a template with a
header in it that contains the clipard object.

You should also forget about saving things to a floppy. Copy them there if
you must, but do NOT save directly to a floppy.

Create an autonew macro containing the following command:

ActiveDocument.RemovePersonalInformation = True

Remove personal information from this file on save.

there is this new feature which will remove your name, etc. from file-properties, etc.

on my version of word xp, the relevant box (under Tools-Options-Security)

does NOT remain checked from document to document.

is there any way of making this check box permanent so that this setting

remains clicked ON for each document rather than having to remember to check
it for each new doc. if there is no way to make this permanent (until
clicked off), then this new feature is no better than the old method of
having to remember to look into file-properties and removing unwanted the
info before saving.

From the File menu, select New, select the Blank document item and check the
New Template button. When the document/template appears on the screen, from
the Tools menu, select Macro and then Macros. In the Macros dialog, select
your document/template from the Macros in: pull down and enter Autonew in
the Macro name: control and then click on Create. The VisualBasic editor
will open and in between

Sub Autonew() and End Sub, enter the line of code that I gave you so that
you have

Sub Autonew()

ActiveDocument.RemovePersonalInformation = True

End Sub

Switch back to Word and save the document/template into the Word Startup
directory (check for the location under Tools>Options>File Locations.

Now after you restart Word, that macro will run whenever you create a new
document.
