In that view, select all of 'MyText', then Insert a picture via the Insert tab.<br />
<br />
Make sure that the text wrapping is set to 'in line' before using Alt+F9 to switch back to the field result view.

Thx for responding Graham,<br />
<br />
I'm able to insert the image as you suggest but it loses its association with the macro. &nbsp;What I end up with is:<br />
<br />
{MACROBUTTON SomeMacroName [picture here]}<br />
<br />
Where [picture here] is say, a small red square or something i've chosen to use.<br />
<br />
As an aside, I'm working off a Mac through a terminal session to a Windows machine so many of the keystroke combinations aren't readily accessible. &nbsp;There are equivalents but I have other issues outside the scope of this post where my extended characters aren't being recognized. &nbsp;This is a recent issue after years of use without trouble; separate problem. &nbsp;So, I have to use the long way around instead of keyboard shortcuts.

Thx Graham,<br />
<br />
I was able to get that working. &nbsp;<br />

Q. &nbsp;What's the syntax to specify a built-in icon?<br />
<br />
The only part i'm not sure about is how to specify an image which is built into Word, for example the type of small icon one can access when customizing the Ribbon or QAT. &nbsp;My concern is that while I can specify an image on the network and get that to load, if someone who doesn't have permissions to that network share tries to use the file or the file is taken off the network, the image link associated with that ActiveX control will break.
</div>


<div>
Thx Graham. &nbsp;I was assuming the built-in ribbon icons could be referenced the same way as any image, given the image's URL (I'm just not sure where to find them) with the added benefit that I didn't need to create/resize images I know already exist on the system.<br />
<br />
I'll work with your solution.<br />
<br />
Thx for the help.

<div>
I had a dim memory that there was a rather complex process to get at the icons. I have found it here:<br />

I note that there is an Export facility in the item list
</div>


<div>
Thanks a bunch Graham. &nbsp;By chance I had stumbled on that shortly after i'd posted my previous reply and had started using it. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I can import the images from that Gallery by selecting them with the cursor. &nbsp;That helps me expand the available images collection.<br />
<br />
I'll need to do some more digging to figure out how to specify them by name in a vba macro.

What is the syntax in Word 2010 to attach a macro button to a graphic instead of text?<br />
<br />
I've inserted a macro button as a field in the document which works correctly as:<br />
<br />
{MACROBUTTON SomeMacroName MyText}<br />
<br />
Instead of displaying 'My Text', I'd like to be displaying a built-in macro icon (such as one might attach to a QAT or custom macro in the ribbon) or to clip art or to a graphic stored on the network.<br />
<br />
Thx

How to apply MacroButton to Graphic Instead of Text

Microsoft Office is an integrated suite of applications that includes Outlook, Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Visio and InfoPath, along with a number of tools to assist in making the individual components work together. Coding within and between the projects is done in Visual Basic for Applications, known as VBA.

Microsoft Office

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
