Adding a signature consisting of images in Outlook using excel VBA

Question

I have code that works, except that it does not add captions with images. The images here refer to the company logo and social media icons.

This code is written in Excel VBA, and the goal is to copy the range as an image into Outlook email.

Dim Rng                     As Range
Dim outlookApp              As Object
Dim outMail                 As Object

Dim wordDoc                 As Word.Document
Dim LastRow                 As Long
Dim CcAddress               As String
Dim ToAddress               As String
Dim i                       As Long
Dim EndRow                  As String

Dim Signature               As String

'// Added Microsoft word reference

Sub Excel_Image_Paste_Testing()

    On Error GoTo Err_Desc

    '\\ Define Endrow
    EndRow = Range("A65000").End(xlUp).Row

    '\\ Range for copy paste as image
    Set Rng = Range("A22:G" & EndRow)
    Rng.Copy

    '\\ Open a new mail item
    Set outlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set outMail = outlookApp.CreateItem(0)

    '\\ Display message to capture signature
    outMail.Display

    '\\ This doesnt store images because its defined as string
    'Problem lies here
    Signature = outMail.htmlBody

    '\\ Get its Word editor
    Set wordDoc = outMail.GetInspector.WordEditor
    outMail.Display

    '\\ To paste as picture
    wordDoc.Range.PasteAndFormat wdChartPicture

    '\\ TO and CC Address
    CcAddress = "[e-mail]"
    ToAddress = "[e-mail]"

    '\\ Format email
    With outMail
        .htmlBody = .htmlBody & Signature
        .Display
        .To = ToAddress
        .CC = CcAddress
        .BCC = ""
        .Subject = "Email Subject here"
        .readreceiptrequested = True
    End With

    '\\ Reset selections
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Range("B1").Select

    Exit Sub
Err_Desc:
    MsgBox Err.Description

End Sub

Please note that this file will be distributed to many people so that they have their own signature by default. Therefore, I would not know the default name .htm of the signature.

("AppData \ Roaming \ Microsoft \ Signature")

People can also have many signatures, but my goal is to capture their default signature.
