Populate Word Template with Images at Header

Posted on by luizangomes

Hello everyone,

I need to know if there's a problem with the 'Populate a Microsoft Word Template" in the picture content control part.

I have two 'Picture Content Control', one at the header and the other at the body. I am trying to load the same image for both of them: the body one is working just fine, the image is loading for every picture I try, but the other one is getting this message 'Unable to load the image' or 'The picture can't be displayed':

I don't know if there's something I have to work on for putting images at the header, or if it's still not possible to make this right now.

I don't think it is supported as yet.

Allow to insert an image into the header of Word Document in MS Flow using "Populate a Microsoft Word Template" action · Community (powerautomate.com)

Try using an Encodian action instead.

If pictures in headers are still not supported by the Word Online connector, I would also advise to try other third-party tools. As alternative of Encodian, you can use Plumsail Documents: you need to type a text token and add a special formatter for processing pictures in this case. For example, I used this token in the header of my template:

{{logo}:picture}

In the Power Automate flow, I added an action Create document from DOCX template. Then passed it a file content of the template and an image in a JSON object. The property with the image should match the token name, and the image can be provided as a base64 string or a public URL to the picture.

The result file contains the picture in a header.
