Glad you sorted this out Ray. Gerry is absolutely right - Word is awful with graphic images. Just out of interest I had a quick look at the InlineShapes object in VBA, and from what I can gather you can't change the name of the image in use, you can only set this when adding a new picture. Given how tricky it is to get an image in Word to act even remotely as you want it to, I think this one definitely goes into the too hard basket.
