Hi all,
Please be gentle with me as I haven't coded since DOS 6.2, and VBA is a bit of a dark art...
In another thread, a gentleman called Paul, posting as Macropod, put this fantastic piece of code up:
Sub AddPics()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim i As Long, j As Long, c As Long, r As Long, NumCols As Long
Dim oTbl As Table, TblWdth As Single, StrTxt As String, RwHght As Single
On Error GoTo ErrExit
NumCols = CLng(InputBox("How Many Columns per Row?"))
RwHght = CSng(InputBox("What row height for the pictures, in inches (e.g. 1.5)?"))
On Error GoTo 0
'Select and insert the Pics
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
.Title = "Select image files and click OK"
.Filters.Add "Images", "*.gif; *.jpg; *.jpeg; *.bmp; *.tif; *.png"
.FilterIndex = 2
If .Show = -1 Then
'Add a 2-row by NumCols-column table to take the images
Set oTbl = Selection.Tables.Add(Range:=Selection.Range, NumRows:=2, NumColumns:=NumCols)
With ActiveDocument.PageSetup
TblWdth = .PageWidth - .LeftMargin - .RightMargin - .Gutter
End With
With oTbl
.AutoFitBehavior (wdAutoFitFixed)
.Columns.Width = TblWdth / NumCols
End With
CaptionLabels.Add Name:="Picture"
For i = 1 To .SelectedItems.Count Step NumCols
r = ((i - 1) / NumCols + 1) * 2 - 1
'Format the rows
Call FormatRows(oTbl, r, RwHght)
For c = 1 To NumCols
j = j + 1
'Insert the Picture
ActiveDocument.InlineShapes.AddPicture _
FileName:=.SelectedItems(j), LinkToFile:=False, _
SaveWithDocument:=True, Range:=oTbl.Cell(r, c).Range
'Get the Image name for the Caption
StrTxt = Split(.SelectedItems(j), "\")(UBound(Split(.SelectedItems(j), "\")))
StrTxt = ": " & Split(StrTxt, ".")(0)
'Insert the Caption on the row below the picture
With oTbl.Cell(r + 1, c).Range
.InsertBefore vbCr
.Characters.First.InsertCaption _
Label:="Picture", Title:=StrTxt, _
Position:=wdCaptionPositionBelow, ExcludeLabel:=False
.Characters.First = vbNullString
.Characters.Last.Previous = vbNullString
End With
'Exit when we're done
If j = .SelectedItems.Count Then Exit For
Next
'Add extra rows as needed
If j < .SelectedItems.Count Then
oTbl.Rows.Add
oTbl.Rows.Add
End If
Next
Else
End If
End With
ErrExit:
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
'
Sub FormatRows(oTbl As Table, x As Long, Hght As Single)
With oTbl
With .Rows(x)
.Height = InchesToPoints(Hght)
.HeightRule = wdRowHeightExactly
.Range.Style = "Normal"
End With
With .Rows(x + 1)
.Height = CentimetersToPoints(0.5)
.HeightRule = wdRowHeightExactly
.Range.Style = "Caption"
End With
End With
End Sub
I am trying to amend this for my own purposes with less than stellar success, so am looking for guidance as, to be honest, I don't really understand what I'm doing yet.
I need:-
3 columns
About 10pt padding all round the image
No caption row
1pt black border around each cell
Images centred horizontally and vertically in each cell
Page is A4 portrait with standard margins.
Any advice you can give would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks,
Simon
