Overview

This node operation "Replace Text With Image In Word" allows users to replace specified text within a Word document with an image. It is useful in scenarios where dynamic content needs to be inserted into Word documents, such as adding logos, signatures, or other images in place of placeholder text. For example, automating the insertion of a company logo wherever a placeholder text like "{{logo}}" appears in a contract document.

Dependencies

Requires access to the input Word document and image either as binary data, base64 strings, or URLs.
No explicit external API keys or services are indicated in the code snippet.
The node depends on internal action logic for "ReplaceTextWithImageInWord" which handles the actual processing.

Troubleshooting

Common issues:
- Incorrect or missing input Word document or image data.
- Invalid URLs or inaccessible resources when using URL input types.
- Specified search text not found in the Word document, resulting in no replacements.
- Incorrect page numbers format or values causing unexpected behavior.
Error messages:
- Errors related to missing binary properties or invalid base64 content usually indicate misconfiguration of input properties.
- Network errors when fetching documents or images from URLs.
Resolutions:
- Verify that the input document and image are correctly provided according to the selected input type.
- Ensure URLs are accessible and point directly to valid files.
- Double-check the search text matches exactly the text in the document.
- Use correct page number formats (e.g., "1", "1-3", "2,4").
