How can I copy an image from the clipboard to Microsoft Word through VBScript?

Question

I am trying to copy an image from the clipboard to Microsoft Word using VBScript. How can I do this?

Answer 1

Are you in a WSH environment? Or is this in VBA?

In VBA, you simply do Application.Selection.Paste.

In WSH:

Set wordapp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
wordapp.Visible = True
wordapp.Documents.Add
wordapp.Selection.Paste
