Creating a signature library macro

Basically, the situation is this:

Let's say I'm a typist working on a proposal letter.  I need to insert a
signature in the document.  

Now we had a system in 2000 where there was a secondary document with 6
signatures (image files) and we could choose one of those from the document
we were typing.  It all worked great.

Until Word 2003.  Now I need to devise another way to do this, and I'm at a
loss.  Picking between one of 6 buttons for each signature isn't an option, I
need them all to be selectable from a drop-down tab.

Any idea on how to accomplish this?

First, I don't understand why something that was working in Word 2000 won't
work for you in Word 2003. The versions aren't that different. In what way
does the macro fail? Are you certain that the secondary document is stored
in the correct folder? Is your macro security level (Tools > Macro >
Security) set to Medium instead of High?

Second, I think you might have an easier time -- no macro required! -- if
you store the signatures as AutoText entries in the template used for these
documents, and use an AutoTextList field to insert them. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/AutoTextList.htm for directions.

Signature
