How can I decrease the overall size of the photo so there are multiple per page?
This comment was minimized by the moderator on the site
Is there a way to insert each picture and file name per page? Sometimes if one picture is too big the file name will then go to the next page or if picture is too small the next picture will be together in one page instead on the next page

Hello, Rizza,
To insert each picture and file name per page, please apply the following vba code:
Sub PicWithCaption()
    Dim xFileDialog As FileDialog
    Dim xPath As String, xFile As String
    On Error Resume Next
    Set xFileDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
    If xFileDialog.Show = -1 Then
        xPath = xFileDialog.SelectedItems.Item(1)
        If xPath <> "" Then
            xFile = Dir(xPath & "\*.*")
            Do While xFile <> ""
                If UCase(Right(xFile, 3)) = "PNG" Or _
                    UCase(Right(xFile, 3)) = "TIF" Or _
                    UCase(Right(xFile, 3)) = "JPG" Or _
                    UCase(Right(xFile, 3)) = "GIF" Or _
                    UCase(Right(xFile, 3)) = "BMP" Then
                    
                    ' Add the picture
                    Selection.InlineShapes.AddPicture xPath & "\" & xFile, False, True
                    Selection.TypeParagraph
                    
                    ' Add the file path below the picture
                    Selection.TypeText xPath & "\" & xFile
                    Selection.TypeParagraph
                    
                    ' Move to the next page
                    Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdPageBreak
                End If
                xFile = Dir()
            Loop
        End If
    End If

Wow this is great! I only needed the file name, so I deleted "xPath & "\" &" from the .Text line and that worked perfectly. Thanks for this!

Which line of code would you change and how to have the file path written before the picture, aka the caption (filename) is above rather than below.

With Selection
.Text = xFile
.InlineShapes.AddPicture xPath & "\" & xFile, False, True
.InsertAfter vbCrLf
.MoveDown wdLine

End With
