WORKAROUND

Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements.
To work around this problem, you can use Visual Basic for Applications to insert an INCLUDEPICTURE field using the URL you want.

For example:

Sub InsertIncludePictureField()
   ' NOTE: Replace <Internet Address> with a valid URL.
   Selection.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Text:= _
      "INCLUDEPICTURE ""<Internet Address>"" _
      \d", PreserveFormatting = False
End Sub
