Hi Secode,

There are two ways to find out exactly where you are having problems. The first is to fully understand what this code you have found is doing, which I will come to in a moment, the second is to examine the output you have generated. The latter approach seems easiest to discuss at the first because you have told us that your not as familiar with OLE stuff as you would like to be. Firstly run your code. The keen eye (or the investigative one:) ) can see that there are two images, but they are in exactly the same position. If your images are the same size (say each images is 200 x 200) then you will not be able to see them both :) Try simply dragging one of the images with the mouse and moving it out of the way.

To illustrate this change your second picture insert to:
$picture = insert_picture($document, 'C:\dee-dwive\pic2.jpg', 0, 1, 0, 500);
Then run your code. Note the change in of values from 250 to 500. Your output should now have both images. This does not solve your problem, I believe you want to insert the second image on page 2 of this document. As an exercise I think you would be better learning how to do that from the documentation I have listed below.

Regarding learning more about Win32::OLE check out Hints for Microsoft Office automation and Using OLE with Perl.

Hope this helps.
