Hi Leon, thx for your quick and elaborate response!
Your suggestion of toggling the fieldcodes made the program take a split second, asking me if I was sure to accept external links... to then return the same issue. Even with a link to this public image it doesn't work: https://i0.wp.com/kanli.be/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/MS365snelkoppeling-toevoegen.png
In my version of Word there is no "Update field" button though either.

SaraBo To update fields, you need to select them (or use CTRL+a to select everything in the document and then press F9 (or Fn+F9 on some keyboards)
- Thx! We're getting closer!
Now the link to the online pic (website) works, but the link to the picture in Sharepoint doens't work.
- I am sure that with regards to the access in Sharepoint I have access as an owner
- could it be that I need to fetch the link to the pic in another way than through the ellipsis>Copy Link? I know that in Excel you sometimes need to alter things manually in a link... could there be a similar hick-up here?
Thx in advanceSaraBo To provide access to files (pictures) on OneDrive, they need to be "shared" As I do not use Sharepoint, I do not know anything about it, but it also may require that the file be shared.
- Thx for your reply. How I have things set up in SP (Sharepoint) the sharing part is correctly setup. As in as I am able to access the file in SP directly, the Word app using the same link should also have access. Right now in Excel it is possible to do a similar thing with the =IMAGE() function. So thanks to your reply I thought of trying the same there.
In Excel I get the #BLOCKED error and some more info on Active Content. In the infopage that is linked in the Excel error message it says Word has the same (unfortunetly the screenshots in this page haven't been changed recently it seems: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/active-content-types-in-your-files-b7ff2e8a-4055-47d4-8c7d-541e19f62bea). I will have to check where to change these settings. I'll keep you posted if I find a solution!
