How do I insert an Image into Word with ComatePlus

leodh · Post by **leodh** » Tue Feb 02, 2021 6:40 am

Hi,

I am trying to insert an Image into a Word document that I have created with ComatePlus.

I can get the image in via Copy and Paste but I can not locate the Image in the right spot.

I have also tried insert the image from a file , that also works but I can only put it at the top of the Doc.

Here is the simplified version of the code. You can use any of your own image files to test.

Code: Select all


UsePNGImageDecoder()
UsePNGImageEncoder()

IncludePath "C:\programs\" 
XIncludeFile "COMatePlus.pbi"

Global DirApp.s = "C:\DDLS Apps\_DEV\HISTO SRS\"

result = LoadImage(53, DirApp.s + "Images\2063 - Image.png") 

SetClipboardImage(53)

File$ = DirApp.s + "Images\2063 - Image.png"

Define.COMateObject oWord, oDoc, oRange, oPara0, oPara1, oPara2, oPara3
Define.COMateObject oPara4, oPara5, oPara6, oPara7

oWord = COMate_CreateObject("Word.Application") 
If oWord 
  If oWord\SetProperty("Visible = #true") = #S_OK 
    oDoc = oWord\GetObjectProperty("Documents\Add") 
    If oDoc         
      oRange = oDoc\GetObjectProperty("Bookmarks('\endofdoc')\Range")
      If oRange
        oPara0 = oDoc\GetObjectProperty("Content\Paragraphs\Add")
        If oPara0
          oPara0\SetProperty("Range\Font\Bold = #True")
          oPara0\SetProperty("Range\Font\Name = 'Arial'")
          oPara0\SetProperty("Range\Font\Size = 15")  
          oPara0\SetProperty("Range\Text = '"+
                             "Subject:              Special Stain/Re-cut Request  " + "'")
          oPara0\SetProperty("Format\SpaceAfter = 6")
          oPara0\SetProperty("Format\SpaceBefore = 0")

         If oPara6
           ;oPara6\SetProperty("Range\Font\Size = 14")                 } comment out and it works
          ; oPara6\SetProperty("Range\Text = '" + String.s + "'")      }
         EndIf
         oRange\Release()
       EndIf    

      oDoc\Release()
    EndIf
    oWord\Release()
  EndIf    
EndIf

If I comment out the oPara6\SetProperty lines it works but the picture can not have anymore text after it.

Does anybody know the correct syntax to use to put the Image anywhere I want.

Cheers

Hi leodh,
before insering the image you have to set the position using, Selection.GoTo() method,
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office ... ction.GoTo

This inserts the image at line 2, you will have to change the image file path.

Code: Select all
