Let's modify the above code a little bit and allow the user to cycle through each of the pictures in the Word document and decide whether the picture should have a border.

'SOURCE: www.TheSpreadsheetGuru.com
Dim myPic As InlineShape
Dim MyAnswer AsInteger
'Loop Through All Pictures (aka Inline Shapes) in Document
ForEach myPic In ActiveDocument.InlineShapes
'Select Image so user can see what image we are talking about
myPic.Select
'Ask and receive verification from user via Messagebox
MyAnswer = MsgBox('Do you wish to add a border to the selected image?', vbYesNo, 'Add Border')
'See if User wants to add border
If MyAnswer = vbYes Then
'Border Thickness
myPic.Line.Weight = 5
'Border Line Style
myPic.Line.Style = msoLineSingle
'Border Color
myPic.Line.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(191, 219, 255)
EndIf
