Linked pictures to embedded

Question

Hello,&nbsp;I have a macro to generate a spreadsheet with many worksheets with images. Unfortunately they have linked images. I need to send this file, but person who received it cannot display images. Cut and pasting every image in spreadsheet is not an option. Is there any solution to convert every image in document from picture to shape or another solution to this automatically for the entire spreadsheet? Maybe some simple macro, I found loops for every picture in worksheet but no idea how to turn them into embedded pictures. Editing orginal macro, which generates spreadsheets is also not an option, it's really complicated.

Try this:

Sub ConvertLinkedShapes()
    Dim w As Worksheet
    Dim s As Shape
    Dim t As Single
    Dim l As Single
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    For Each w In Worksheets
        For Each s In w.Shapes
            If s.Type = msoLinkedPicture Then
                t = s.Top
                l = s.Left
                s.Cut
                w.Pictures.Paste
                With w.Pictures(w.Pictures.Count)
                    .Top = t
                    .Left = l
                End With
            End If
        Next s
    Next w
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
