Hi.

I have a situation where I have already selected a picture that I have inserted into my Excel worksheet, locked to a cell.

Then I need a macro to do the following:

1. If it is landscape (ie the height is greater than the width), rotate 90 degrees.
2. Copy the Alternative text into the cell in which the object resides.
3. Use the alternative text as a hyperlink on the picture.

Thank you.

Not everything I do at work revolves around Excel. Only the fun parts.
Here is what I have so far:

VBA Code:
Sub macro()
Dim Hyp As String

Hyp = Selection.ShapeRange.AlternativeText

If Selection.ShapeRange.Height > Selection.ShapeRange.Width Then Selection.ShapeRange.Rotation = "90"


End Sub

I can't get the hyperlink to work, nor how to deselect the object and select the cell behind it.

Thank you.

Solved:

VBA Code:
Sub macro()
Dim Hyp As String

Hyp = Selection.ShapeRange.AlternativeText
ShortHyp = Left(Hyp, Len(Hyp) - 4)

'Change from landscape to portrait if required
If Selection.ShapeRange.Height > Selection.ShapeRange.Width Then Selection.ShapeRange.Rotation = "90"

'Add hyperlink to photo
With ActiveSheet
.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=.Shapes(Selection.ShapeRange.Name), Address:=Hyp
End With

'Input photo name in cell
ActiveCell.Select
ActiveCell = ShortHyp


End Sub
