Remarks

[ API set: WordApi 1.1 ]

Examples

// Link to full sample: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OfficeDev/office-js-snippets/prod/samples/word/15-images/insert-and-get-pictures.yaml

// Inserts an image anchored to the last paragraph.
await Word.run(async (context) => {
  context.document.body.paragraphs
    .getLast()
    .insertParagraph("", "After")
    .insertInlinePictureFromBase64(base64Image, "End");

  await context.sync();
});

Properties

altTextDescription

Specifies a string that represents the alternative text associated with the inline image.

altTextTitle

Specifies a string that contains the title for the inline image.

context

The request context associated with the object. This connects the add-in's process to the Office host application's process.

height

Specifies a number that describes the height of the inline image.

hyperlink

Specifies a hyperlink on the image. Use a '#' to separate the address part from the optional location part.

lockAspectRatio

Specifies a value that indicates whether the inline image retains its original proportions when you resize it.

parentContentControl

Gets the content control that contains the inline image. Throws an ItemNotFound error if there isn't a parent content control.

width

Specifies a number that describes the width of the inline image.

Methods

getBase64ImageSrc()

Gets the Base64-encoded string representation of the inline image.

insertContentControl()

Wraps the inline picture with a rich text content control.

load(options)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNames)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNamesAndPaths)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

set(properties, options)

Sets multiple properties of an object at the same time. You can pass either a plain object with the appropriate properties, or another API object of the same type.

set(properties)

Sets multiple properties on the object at the same time, based on an existing loaded object.

toJSON()

Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that is passed to it.) Whereas the original Word.InlinePicture object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Word.Interfaces.InlinePictureData) that contains shallow copies of any loaded child properties from the original object.

track()

Track the object for automatic adjustment based on surrounding changes in the document. This call is a shorthand for context.trackedObjects.add(thisObject). If you're using this object across .sync calls and outside the sequential execution of a ".run" batch, and get an "InvalidObjectPath" error when setting a property or invoking a method on the object, you need to add the object to the tracked object collection when the object was first created. If this object is part of a collection, you should also track the parent collection.

untrack()

Release the memory associated with this object, if it has previously been tracked. This call is shorthand for context.trackedObjects.remove(thisObject). Having many tracked objects slows down the host application, so please remember to free any objects you add, once you're done using them. You'll need to call context.sync() before the memory release takes effect.

Parameters

properties
Word.Interfaces.InlinePictureUpdateData

A JavaScript object with properties that are structured isomorphically to the properties of the object on which the method is called.
