Question

Applescript Insert picture into word table cell?

How is it done?

I have a cell that I wish to insert a picture from the HD int but I just can't seem to get it to work... I have no problem inserting the picture at the end of the document but not in the cell... thoughts?

Works:

make new inline picture at end of proposal with properties {file name:"Macintosh HD:Users:User:Misc:pict.jpg", save with document:true}

Does not work:

make new inline picture at (get cell from table proposalTable row 3 column 3) with properties {file name:"Macintosh HD:Users:User:Misc:pict.jpg", save with document:true}

thanks!

Word 2011, my bad :/

Here is the script, with the right paths :

set tfile to "/Users/macbookpro/Pictures/QRCode www.pps4Me.de.png"

set wfile to "/Users/macbookpro/Documents/Scripts/Labels/Frame.docx"

tell application "Microsoft Word"

activate

openwfile

tell active document

set x to text object of cell 1 of row 1 of table 1

makenewinline pictureat before xwith properties {file name:(tfile as string), save with document:true}

end tell

end tell

You must convert the posix path of your image file to mac path, like this :

set tfile to "/Users/macbookpro/Pictures/QRCode www.pps4Me.de.png" as POSIX file as text

Try this script

set tfile to "/Users/macbookpro/Pictures/QRCode www.pps4Me.de.png" as POSIX file as text
set wfile to "/Users/macbookpro/Documents/Scripts/Labels/Frame.docx"
tell application "Microsoft Word"
     activate
     open wfile
     tell active document
          set x to text object of cell 1 of row 1 of table 1
          make new inline picture at before x with properties {file name:tfile, save with document:true}
     end tell
end tell
