Shape myPicture = document.Shapes.InsertPicture(document.CreatePosition(15),
    System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("Documents\\beverages.png"));
myPicture.HorizontalAlignment = ShapeHorizontalAlignment.Center;
vb
Dim document As Document = wordProcessor.Document
document.AppendText("Line One" & vbLf & "Line Two" & vbLf & "Line Three")
