Putting an image in a word document

I’m trying to make a word document with images. I specified a mail merge field by Image:PictureName.
For the corrosponding field in the dictionary I tried using a memory stream and a byte array. The image is a code generated graph with some text written over it. I tried using different image types, my preferred type is Emf because it’s a vector type.

None worked, can someone please explain how this should be done?

Adding the key, has been tested with graph being a MemoryStream or a bye array, is a working image because writing it to a file produces a correct image:

MergeData.Add("PictureName", graph);

Mergefield with field codes toggled:
{ MERGEFIELD Image:PictureName \* MERGEFORMAT }

Hi,

Thanks for your inquiry. I have attached a template Word document that contains a sample Image MERGEFIELD here for your reference. I believe you can achieve what you need after using the code suggested below:

Document doc = new Document(@"C:\Temp\ImageTemplate.docx");
doc.MailMerge.Execute(new string[]
{
    "MyImageField"
}, new object[]
{
    @"C:\temp\Sample.png"
});
doc.Save(@"C:\Temp\out.docx");

private class HandleImageMergeField: IFieldMergingCallback
{
    void IFieldMergingCallback.FieldMerging(FieldMergingArgs args)
    {
        // Do nothing.
    }
    void IFieldMergingCallback.ImageFieldMerging(ImageFieldMergingArgs e)
    {
        e.ImageFileName = e.FieldValue.ToString();
    }
}

Alternatively, you can use DocumentBuilder object to move the cursor to a MERGEFIELD and then insert the image there by using the following code snippet:

Document doc = new Document(@"C:\Temp\ImageTemplate.docx");
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
builder.MoveToMergeField("MyImageField");
builder.InsertImage(@"C:\Temp\Sample.png", 200, 200);
doc.Save(@"C:\Temp\out.docx");

Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Best regards,

Neither of these methods worked (the second inserted the image, but at the top of the page). I ended up using placeholder images with the alternate text holding the attribute name for the image.
