Import JPG Into Content Placeholder

I have a layout which contains a content placeholder. I create a slide with this layout. My goal is to have VBA import a JPG into the content placeholder of the slide. I use a content placeholder rather than a picture placeholder because manually importing a JPG into a content placeholder does not crop while importing into a picture placeholder crops.

What is the VBA code to import a JPG into the content placeholder of a slide?

Thanks in advance.

You need to say which version you have because 2007 acts differently to 2010 on.

In Office 2010 Images will usually go into empty content placeholders all by themselves.

Sub AddPic()
Dim osld As Slide
Set osld = ActivePresentation.Slides(1) ' change number to suit
'obviously adjust path to suit your image
'Left and Top will be ignored but must have a value
osld.Shapes.AddPicture "C:\Users\John\Desktop\Pic1.jpg", _
LinkToFile:=msoFalse, _
SaveWithDocument:=msoTrue, _
Left:=0, _
Top:=0
End Sub

Note in 2007 this does not work.
