Hi and Thanks in advance!

I have a word template
  • I have to populate a few word marks from excel using vba (no problem)
In my word Template a Have a shape, is the only one
so when I use:

VBA Code:
Dim objWord As Object:           Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
                                 objWord.Visible = True
Dim wFxFullName as String:       wFxFullName=range("A4")  'This file always Exists 
Dim wImgFullName as String:      wImgFullName=range("A5") 'This Image file always Exists 
Dim objDoc As Object:            Set objDoc = objWord.Documents.Add(Template:=wFxFullName, NewTemplate:=False, DocumentType:=0)

Debug.Print objDoc.InlineShapes.Count         'always Shows 1
Dim iShape As InlineShape:       Set iShape =objDoc.InlineShapes(1)


iShape.LockAspectRatio = msoFalse
iShape.select
Debug.Print iShape.Height, iShape.Width       'Goes OK
Debug.Print iShape.Top, iShape.Left           'Does not show anything, goes wrong 


'MY MINE PROBLEN
'This line goes WRONG:

Selection.AddPicture (wImgFullName)

So How can I refer to my selected Ishape to Add a image located in my PC ??

My Idea is to replace this kind of shape (this iShape) with a new one using Excel's VBA, I mean from Excel

I know how insert a image in word but not how to replace the iShaoe using his size Top, Left, width and Height
