    // Insert a picture.
    Shape picture = document.Shapes.InsertPicture(document.Range.Start, DocumentImageSource.FromFile("Picture_Dog.png"));
    
    // Set the picture size.
    picture.Size = new SizeF(3f, 2.5f);
    
    // Align the picture.
    picture.HorizontalAlignment = ShapeHorizontalAlignment.Center;
    picture.VerticalAlignment = ShapeVerticalAlignment.Top;
    
    // Change the picture's form.
    picture.PictureFormat.Preset = ShapeGeometryPreset.RoundedRectangle;
    
    // Display a border around the picture.
    picture.Line.Color = Color.Black;
    
    // Replace the picture.
    picture.PictureFormat.SetPicture(DocumentImageSource.FromFile("Picture_Cat.png"));
