add caption to MS Word image using activex

[SIS-justin]

I used LabVIEW to add an image at a bookmark in a Word document. Now I'm trying to add a caption to that image, but having no luck. I keep getting errors on my InsertCaption method--either "Error -2146824090 occurred at Exception occured in Microsoft Word: Command failed" or Type mismatch, depending on the parameters I use.

I've browsed this forum and others, but can only find solutions for those that have the report generation toolkit, which I do not.

Code is attached. Any ideas?

Are you making the caption another bookmark? That's what I would do.

Yeah, I could do it that way. I'd prefer to use the InsertCaption functionality though--seems cleaner. I suppose if I can't find out how to make this node work, that's what I'll end up doing.

You need to define your label before using it with the Insert Caption method. You can modify your VI as in the attached picture to add the label you want to use to the CaptionLabels collection. You will then be able to use it.

Beautiful! Works great, thank you!

I've attached the working code in case anyone else ever needs something similar...
