You can use it just like any other workbook (well, almost). But in this
case,
it's true.

Option Explicit
Sub testme()

Dim myFromPict As Picture
Dim myToPict As Picture
Dim myAspectRatio As Double

Set myFromPict _
= Workbooks("book1.xla").Worksheets("Sheet1").Pictur es("Picture 1")

myFromPict.Copy
With ActiveSheet
.Paste
Set myToPict = .Pictures(.Pictures.Count) 'last one added
With myToPict
myAspectRatio = .Width / .Height
End With
myToPict.ShapeRange.LockAspectRatio = msoTrue
myToPict.Left = .Range("A1").Left
myToPict.Top = .Range("A1").Top
myToPict.Height = .Range("a1:a5").Height
With myToPict
.Width = myAspectRatio * .Height
End With
End With
End Sub
