Hi @amrutageorge

I would recommed to use powershell script instead of Python as there would be a long term maintainance for updating packages etc. VB would slowdown the entire process. Below Power shell script might help you:

$word = New-Object -ComObject Word.Application
$word.Visible = $false
$doc = $word.Documents.Open("C:\Path\To\Your\Document.docx")
$selection = $word.Selection
$selection.InlineShapes.AddPicture("C:\Path\To\Image.jpg")
$doc.Save()
$doc.Close()
$word.Quit()

To run:

Use the “Run Script” action under System Package:

Type: PowerShell
Script Path: Path to your .ps1 file

I had a similar requirement. I did that using python and specifically python-docx library.

As there is no option to insert an image in A360, you can try to do it using either vb or python script and call that script from A360.

Refer python script below:

from docx import Document
from docx.shared import Inches

# Create a new Word document
doc = Document()

# Add a title or paragraph (optional)
doc.add_paragraph("Here's an image inserted using Python:")

# Insert the image
doc.add_picture('path/to/image.jpg', width=Inches(4.0)) # Adjust width as needed

# Save the document
doc.save('output.docx')
