Formatting a *.tif in Word

[rpthomas]

I am trying to programically format a picture in Word with no success. Here are the steps I am taking;

First I insert a *.tif into a Word Document. Then select 'Format | Picture | Layout' select 'Tight and click Left'. This works fine when done manually, but when I try to record these steps, the 'Wrapping Style' Options are greyed out.

Next when I tried the following code on the unformatted *.tif, Word generages the error "4198", Command Failed;

Selection.ShapeRange.WrapFormat.Type = wdWrapTight
Selection.ShapeRange.Left = wdShapeLeft
Selection.ShapeRange.Top = InchesToPoints(0)

Any Ideas on how this can be done in a Macro?

Thank you

You are probably using insert object to insert the pic. Try using insert file instead while recording the macro.
