Something like this:

ActiveDocument.Shapes.AddPicture _
        FileName:="C:\My Pictures\Demo.JPG", _
        Left:=100, Top:=200, SaveWithDocument:=True

thanx SammyB for the answer
it did work but i want it to be opened in the tabular form. i,e. all other informations are displayed in the table, so i want the picture of the corresponding name should be displayed in the same row.

name---------------------------add --------------------------------------------pic
abc --------------------------xyz---------------------------------------------pic of abc
abc1 --------------------------xyz1---------------------------------------------pic of abc1

i used the following code :

oDoc.Tables(1). Columns(1).Cell s(1).Range.Text = fg.TextMatrix(1 , 1)
oDoc.Tables(1). Columns(2).Cell s(1).Range.Text = fg.TextMatrix(1 , 2)
oDoc.Tables(1). Columns(3).Cell s(1).Range.Text = fg.TextMatrix(1 , 3) "Error for the photo"

but the image is not displayed in the table
but only outside the table.
thanx

You just need to use InlineShapes:

 oDoc.Tables(1) .Columns(3).Cells(2).Range.InlineShapes.AddPicture FileName:=....

thanx SammyB for that helpful suggestion
one more question
what if i show the data in the page not in the table. that means the name, then the pic of that name in the next line , and at the bottom the address of that name. all in the separate line.
is it possible to show it and the information of another name in the next page and so on.
thanx

Actually, I don't know how to do any of this. :D I just record a macro and look at the code, and post it for you. None of the Office products have that difficult an object model. Try recording a macro and see what you can do. Note, Word is a little tough because you cannot navigate thru the document with the mouse while in the Macro Recorder. So, before you start, look at Help, Keyboard Shrotcuts, Move the Insertion Point. HTH --Sam
