AutoText image as UserForm picture

[William]

Does anyone know if it's possible (using Word 2003) to include an AutoText image as a picture in a VBA UserForm at runtime?

I've done this in the past using a WordBasic custom dialog box, but haven't been able to do it with a UserForm.

No, that is not possible - the old custom dialog boxes were tightly integrated with Word, but userforms are a much more generic feature (they are available in Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook too). The Image control on a userform must show an external image file.

Thanks for the confirmation. This must be what they call progress.

For my present purposes I will revert to WordBasic. It's certainly easier distributing a template without having to also distribute image files and then hope that they're stored and retained in the correct location.
