How to change the size of a picture after inserting it into a word document

Question

I\'m adding a picture to a word document at a certain bookmark. However, the picture is too big and is forcing text off the page, so I need to be able to change the size of

Answer 1

When you insert the image, it should return you an InlineShape, which you can modify:

Word.Application app = new Word.Application();
var doc = app.Documents.Open(@"C:\Users\SomeUserName\Desktop\Doc1.docx");

var shape = doc.Bookmarks["PicHere"].Range.InlineShapes.AddPicture(@"C:\Users\SomePicture\Pictures\1234.JPG", false, true);
shape.Width = 150;
shape.Height = 150;
app.Visible = true;

Answer 2

Code, which I used to resize the picture successfully is:

var shape = headerRange.InlineShapes.AddPicture(tempLogoPathName, true, true).ConvertToShape();
shape.HeightRelative = 10f;
shape.WidthRelative = 40f;

Seems that convering to Shape is the solution. Previous set the different height directly in InLineShapes, produced an error. (I just edited a post and simplified the code, so it does not use 2nd dll library: Microsoft.Office.Core anymore)
