This version is for a document-level customization. To use this code, paste it into the ThisDocument class in your project, and call the AddPictureControlAtSelection method from the ThisDocument_Startup method.

Dim pictureControl1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.PictureContentControl
Dim bitmap1 As System.Drawing.Bitmap

Private Sub AddPictureControlAtSelection()
    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore()
    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.Select()
    pictureControl1 = Me.Controls.AddPictureContentControl("pictureControl1")
    Dim imagePath As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.MyDocuments & _
            "\picture.bmp"
    bitmap1 = New System.Drawing.Bitmap(imagePath, True)
    pictureControl1.Image = bitmap1
End Sub
private Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.PictureContentControl pictureControl1;
private System.Drawing.Bitmap bitmap1;

private void AddPictureControlAtSelection()
{
    this.Paragraphs[1].Range.InsertParagraphBefore();
    this.Paragraphs[1].Range.Select();

    pictureControl1 = this.Controls.AddPictureContentControl("pictureControl1");

    string imagePath = System.Environment.GetFolderPath(
        Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments) + "\\picture.bmp";
    bitmap1 = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(imagePath, true);
    pictureControl1.Image = bitmap1;
}

This version is for an application-level add-in. To use this code, paste it into the ThisAddIn class in your project, and call the AddPictureControlAtSelection method from the ThisAddIn_Startup method.

Dim pictureControl1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.PictureContentControl
Dim bitmap1 As System.Drawing.Bitmap

Private Sub AddPictureControlAtSelection()
    If Me.Application.ActiveDocument Is Nothing Then
        Return
    End If

    Dim vstoDoc As Document = Globals.Factory.GetVstoObject(Me.Application.ActiveDocument)
    vstoDoc.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore()
    vstoDoc.Paragraphs(1).Range.Select()
    pictureControl1 = vstoDoc.Controls.AddPictureContentControl("pictureControl1")
    Dim imagePath As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.MyDocuments & _
            "\picture.bmp"
    bitmap1 = New System.Drawing.Bitmap(imagePath, True)
    pictureControl1.Image = bitmap1
End Sub
private Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.PictureContentControl pictureControl1;
private System.Drawing.Bitmap bitmap1;

private void AddPictureControlAtSelection()
{
    if (this.Application.ActiveDocument == null)
        return;

    Document vstoDoc = Globals.Factory.GetVstoObject(this.Application.ActiveDocument);
    vstoDoc.Paragraphs[1].Range.InsertParagraphBefore();
    vstoDoc.Paragraphs[1].Range.Select();

    pictureControl1 = vstoDoc.Controls.AddPictureContentControl("pictureControl1");

    string imagePath = System.Environment.GetFolderPath(
        Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments) + "\\picture.bmp";
    bitmap1 = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(imagePath, true);
    pictureControl1.Image = bitmap1;
}
