Change a few things in the Macro

I have included a Macro script below and seek assistance in modifying it. Specifically, I aim to enlarge the size of the text box, as depicted in the accompanying image. Presently (in the below script), the text box dimensions allow for only a single row of text, which proves insufficient. Additionally, I would like to automate the addition of descriptive text beneath each inserted picture. Ideally, the script should automatically append labels such as "Picture 1," "Picture 2," and so forth below the respective images. Currently, the script associates the picture name and positions it beneath the image.

 

Looking forward to recieve help in getting this sorted for us. This will make our work so much easier and we would save lots of time.
