Ok i hope someone has an anwers as i've been out of luck so far. I am creating a word document on the fly and can get all the text to work but i can't get an image inserted. It's a letter that is generated that is sent to a large number of people and i'd like to add a jpg of someones signature so they won't have to sign all 2-3 thousand letters. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks and please see code below.
