Whenever you insert a picture into a publication using the Pictures button on the ribbon, Publisher just slaps the picture on your publication, as shown below. far, the easiest way to insert images is by creating placeholders, then inserting them. STemp = "Page " & nP & " does not have an inline picture" Set r2 = ActiveDocument.GoTo(What:=wdGoToPage, Count:=nP + 1) Set r1 = ActiveDocument.GoTo(What:=wdGoToPage, Count:=nP) STemp = "You are trying to go to a non-existent page" NPages = ActiveDocument.ComputeStatistics(statistic:=wdStatisticPages) NP = 10 ' Page number on which to replace the image The following macro will locate the first image on the desired page and replace it with an inline shape. If you wanted your image to replace an existing image (perhaps with an updated image), then you can do so by using a bit more complex macro. RelativeVerticalPosition = wdRelativeVerticalPositionPage RelativeHorizontalPosition = wdRelativeHorizontalPositionPage LinkToFile:=False, SaveWithDocument:=True).ConvertToShape The following macro does that, as well as centering the image in the center of the page: If you prefer, you could insert the image as a floating shape, which would allow text to wrap around the image. The macro inserts the image as an inline shape. LinkToFile:=False, SaveWithDocument:=True PicPath = "C:\My Pictures\My Scans\scan0002.jpg"ĪctiveDocument.GoTo(What:=wdGoToPage, Count:=10).Select This then bumps everything after the image up by a page, such that the old page 10 becomes page 11, page 11 becomes page 12, and so on.

If you want the image to be the only thing on page 10, then the task is rather easy: Use the macro to locate page 10, insert the image, and then insert a page break after the image. He wonders about the best way, within the macro, to go about this. Suman needs to use a macro to insert an image on page 10 of a particular document.
