Hi,

Is this is possible.

- Import all the images found inside a folder at the following location "C:\ImportImages"

vertically with one space in between them and - Resize the imported images so they take

up half the width of the standard A4 page in Word.

I create a report in Word on a regular basis, the first thing I do is resize and import photos taken from a digital camera or drawings from a folder.

Excel Facts

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
in the past I used to take an A4 sheet and insert newspaper columns, in you case 2 columns, and then insert the pics with a macro, and let word deal with the spacing. I used this for a photo contact sheet, you can modify to use 3, 4 columns

I have the macro at home and will post the code later

Try something based on:
Code:
Sub InsertAllPics()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim strFolder As String, strFile As String, Rng As Range
strFolder = GetFolder
If strFolder = "" Then Exit Sub
strFile = Dir(strFolder & "\*.jpg", vbNormal)
With ActiveDocument
  While strFile <> ""
    Set Rng = .Range.Characters.Last
    With Rng
      .InsertAfter vbCr
      .Collapse wdCollapseEnd
      .InlineShapes.AddPicture FileName:=strFolder & "\" & strFile, _
        LinkToFile:=False, SaveWithDocument:=True
      With .Paragraphs.Last.Range.InlineShapes(1)
        .LockAspectRatio = msoTrue
        .Width = CentimetersToPoints(7.5)
      End With
    End With
    strFile = Dir()
  Wend
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Function GetFolder() As String
Dim oFolder As Object
GetFolder = ""
Set oFolder = CreateObject("Shell.Application").BrowseForFolder(0, "Choose a folder", 0)
If (Not oFolder Is Nothing) Then GetFolder = oFolder.Items.Item.Path
Set oFolder = Nothing
End Function
The above code allows you to select the folder. As coded, it looks for jpg files. you can change the file type.
