I don't follow you. But, can you make the image an AutoText entry?

You'll need to extract it from the resource file first, maybe to a temporary
folder, and then insert it from there using AddPicture

Put it into the clipboard and use the Paste method to paste it into the
document.

Do you mean text in the clipboard or text in the document?

text in the document
if there is some important data is copied by user on clipboard than it will
be replace by image. therefore copy on clipboard is not userfull.
is there any other method to do the same?

Hi

The clipboard is the only way, and your problem is easy to solve.

First read the contents of the clipboard and store this data in av variable.
Then copy your image to the clipboard and paste it to the document.
Then restore the contents of the clipboard from the variable.

I have two routines which I use:
First declare variables module-wide
Private clpPict As Picture 'Image from Clipboard
Private clpText As String 'Text from Clipboard
Private clpType As Integer 'Type of data in Clipboard

Sub SaveClip()
If Clipboard.GetFormat(vbCFText) Then
clpType = 1 'Text
clpText = Clipboard.GetText()
Exit Sub
End If
If Clipboard.GetFormat(vbCFBitmap) Then
Set clpPict = Clipboard.GetData(vbCFBitmap)
clpType = 2 'Image
Exit Sub
End If
If Clipboard.GetFormat(vbCFMetafile) Then
Set clpPict = Clipboard.GetData(vbCFMetafile)
clpType = 2 'Image
Exit Sub
End If
If Clipboard.GetFormat(vbCFDIB) Then
Set clpPict = Clipboard.GetData(vbCFDIB)
clpType = 2 'Image
Exit Sub
End If
If Clipboard.GetFormat(vbCFPalette) Then
Set clpPict = Clipboard.GetData(vbCFPalette)
clpType = 2 'Image
Exit Sub
End If
end sub

Private Sub GetClip(ByVal clipType As Integer)

'Restore Clipboard data
Select Case clipType
Case 1 'Text
Clipboard.SetText (clpText)
Case 2
Clipboard.SetData clpPict
Case Else
Clipboard.Clear
End Select

End Sub
