Hi @SaraBo,
To insert a picture from a SharePoint document library hyperlink into a Word document and ensure it automatically updates when the source image changes, follow these steps:
Get the SharePoint Document Library URL:
- Make sure the image you want is in a SharePoint document library.
- Copy the direct URL of the image file.
Insert an Image Placeholder:
- In your Word document, place your cursor where you want the image.
- Go to the "Insert" tab and choose "Quick Parts" > "Field."
Select the IncludePicture Field:
- In the Field dialog box, look for "IncludePicture" in the list of field names.
Set the Field Codes:
- You'll see a placeholder in the "Field codes" box. Replace it with this code:
Replace "URL" with the direct link to your image in the SharePoint library.
Preserve Image Sizing:
- If you want to maintain the image's size, you can add the \d switch followed by the desired dimensions. For example, to set it to 300x200 twips, use:
INCLUDEPICTURE "URL" \d 300x200
Replace "URL" with your SharePoint image link.
Update the Field:
- To display the image, right-click on the field code and select "Update Field."
- Your image will appear in the Word document.
Save and Share:
- Save the Word document where your team can access it, like SharePoint or OneDrive.
Now, when you replace the source image in the SharePoint library, you can update the image in your Word document by right-clicking on it and choosing "Update Field."
