Hi Dave, I did some work a few years ago in Delphi (4) inserting pictures into Word (97) documents. I didn't use a 3rd-party component, just instantiated a Word object, leading to code like this:
I := varW.ActiveDocument.shapes.count; while I > NumShapes do begin varW.ActiveDocument.Shapes.Item(I).ConvertToInlineShape; I := I - 1; end; I := varW.ActiveDocument.Inlineshapes.count; while I > NumInlineShapes do begin CurrentPic := varW.ActiveDocument.InlineShapes.Item(I); Currentpic.Fill.Visible := msoFalse; Currentpic.Fill.Transparency := 0.0; (etc) You probably need to study the Word DOM and get access to the Word object directly if the component you're using doesn't expose the properties and sub-objects that you need. eg you may need to instantiate an object that represents the array you're working with, which probably has properties such as number of rows, number of columns, and then a collection of sub-objects representing rows or cells or both. One thing that may help is to go through the sequence of actions in Word with the macro recorder running, then examine the vba code that it writes to perform it.
