Example

This example adds two rectangles to the active publication. The rectangle on the left is filled with one large image of a picture; the rectangle on the right is filled with many small tiles of the same picture. (Note that PathToFile must be replaced with a valid file path for this example to work.)

With ActiveDocument.Pages(1).Shapes
    .AddShape(Type:=msoShapeRectangle, _
        Left:=0, Top:=0, Width:=200, Height:=100).Fill _
        .UserPicture PictureFile:="PathToFile"
    .AddShape(Type:=msoShapeRectangle, _
        Left:=300, Top:=0, Width:=200, Height:=100).Fill _
