If you want an easy life have a look at crossware. &nbsp;Used in several places and works brilliantly on exchange and Domino servers putting controlled signatures on emails regardless of from phones pc or whatever... Will look back later when on pc free VB script way!

Hi Steve thanks but i dont really have the option to do via exchange need to script it at the outlook client
</div>

<div>
How are you using it at the moment, one-off script to run for a user or every time during login etc? &nbsp;I'm thinking easiest way might be to have photos available either pre-extracted or extracted from AD during login if not already present to a know location, e.g. 
 
\\server\share\photos\user.name.jpg or h:\myphoto.jpg in location on each users network drive or similar, or in their local profile c:\users\user.name\myphoto.jpg 
 
Given that could then have the word template insert picture from known location based on username or fixed path of &quot;%userprofile%\..\myphoto.jpg&quot; or &quot;h:\myphoto.jpg&quot; say? 
 
Otherwise I think would have to extract the photo to a known file location anyway and then insert into the word doc.

Steve i am using This VBS script that fills a word template with AD details modified to suit our environment 
&nbsp;i could put the photos in their home directory 
i just need to know how i would then load it into the correct location on the word template but haven't been able to work that out 
the rest of the script is working fine just need to sort the photo out

OK assuming you have the image file already extracted you should be able to do something like this, I would suggest a cell of a table that has been set to a fixed size - row height, column width and turn off autofit (like script below does) 
 
With WordApp.ActiveDocument.Tables(1) 
&nbsp; &nbsp; .AllowAutoFit = False 
&nbsp; &nbsp; .Cell(1, 1).VerticalAlignment = 1 'wdCellAlignVerticalCenter 
&nbsp; &nbsp; .Cell(1, 1).Range.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = 1 ' wdAlignParagraphCenter 
&nbsp; &nbsp; .Cell(1, 1).Range.InlineShapes.AddPicture FileName:=&quot;H:\myphoto.jpg&quot;, LinkToFile:=False, SaveWithDocument:=True 
End With 
 
Earlier in the script or as one-off job could pull all the images out into user home drives or into a shared &quot;user photos&quot; directory?
</div>

<div>
thanks Steve 
 
i will give this a go on Monday see how it works 
 
should i put this in a specific place in the script ?
</div>

<div>
OK so tried this but it is erroring what am i missing 
 
'----- Find and Insert User Photo &nbsp;----- 
With WordApp.ActiveDocument.Tables(1) 
&nbsp; &nbsp; .AllowAutoFit = False 
&nbsp; &nbsp; .Cell(1, 1).VerticalAlignment = 1 'wdCellAlignVerticalCenter 
&nbsp; &nbsp; .Cell(1, 1).Range.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = 1 ' wdAlignParagraphCenter 
&nbsp; &nbsp; .Cell(1, 1).Range.InlineShapes.AddPicture FileName:=&quot;C:\Kyle.jpg&quot;, LinkToFile:=False, SaveWithDocument:=True

That is assuming there is that one table in the document and top left hand cell of that table to fill in with picture and table sized how you want it - with any other attributes like borders, backgrounds etc. set how wanted already. 
 
If you want to pull out the image from AD on the fly can look at that if this works for the Word bit.
</div>

<div>
Steve thanks that works now for a static image but if i need to source a different image per user how would i add this ? i can place all the images in a network share if that is easier ?
</div>

<div>
When on pc later will show, can either see if we can extract the images in the fly from AD for you or if you had ask the photos in a duty based on the username or in the same path for each person, i.e. in their home drive path ( open to users fiddling I suppose ) then in script point at file based on the username.
</div>

<div>
i have it working by putting the photo in their home drive and naming the file the same for all users &nbsp;but it is a manual process to put the photo there for all users was hoping i could point to a directory or AD and grab the photo based on logged in user
</div>

<div>
We can, just not trivial to work out without PC in front of me from phone :-) &nbsp;When I'm on PC later on will combine code with what you have. &nbsp;There are various example scripts online. 
 
Are you intending this to run every time from a login script or run it once to create their signature?
</div>

<div>
e.g. bits from here though that is referring to BMP file, will get you one working from my AD connected systems later.

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
