Hello everyone, I am currently creating a proces that takes advantage of the Add Documents to Zip plug-in to replace "dummy" images inside of a .docx file with images gathered from the rest of the process. I currently have the images being add to the .docx file and they are being store in the correct place inside the archieve. The problem I am having however is that the images being added are not replaceing the "dummy" images like I want them too. I am wondering if anyone can help point me in the right direction, thanks....

Hi Daniel, how are you defining your inputs?

The Base Document is defined as the document generated from my Word Doc from Template activity. The Existing Document is the same since I just want to create a new version of the Word document. Documents To Add as the image document that is gathered from the user in a previous step and the Document Paths is the path "word\\media\\(filname of the added document). I can go into detail on any of the steps further if there is confusion.

Yes I did. I don't remember exaclty what was causing the issue then, but I do have it working. You need to define the Base Document as the one you want to add the image to. From there I have the existing document field populated with the same value from the base document field. Documents to Add is where you put the Image file and the last field, Documets Path, should be set up similar to this ="word\\media\\" & document(pv!ImageOne, "name") & "." & document(pv!ImageOne, "extension"). Does this help?

I'm now having the same problem you initially had - the zip file ends up with 2 files called "image1.jpeg" (even when i use the exact same filename). If you happen to remember the trick to fixing this, i'd appreciate it. it's not urgent, but thanks all the same.
