+38I would like create a MSWord document that includes a table that has 3 columns. The first two columns are just attributes, but the third should be a thumbnail image, whose path is stored in an attribute.
I can use the MSWordStyler to generate a table, I can also use it to add the pictures.
What I haven't been able to figure out is how to add the pictures in the 3rd column of the table.
+5I don't think this is possible in word with FME. It is possible in html with the html report generator using custom HTML:

You can open HTML documents with word.
+38Do you need to avoid python?
No, python is fine.
What I'm hoping to avoid is falling down the rabbit hole of custom jsonSnippets/XML that @janb pioneered.

I have a workflow that creates the table in a word document with the image column populated with the imagepath, then after a featurewriter uses a pythoncaller to replace that text with the image specified by the path. It's on my machine at home, so I can share later.

@egomm I would love to see that workflow.

It's never been used in anger, but was something I was experimenting with, but might give you some ideas.

Thanks, this gives me lots of ideas.
EDIT: docX is awesome, I've gone to creating the entire document in python, rather than have a dozen samplers and MSWordStylers to create all the necessary hierarchy.

Hi @venu ,
The comment above has been updated with the link to the workspace "write_to_word_python.fmwt" now.
