```vbscript
TXTextControl.ImageInsertFixed FileName, PageNo, PosX, PosY, ScaleX, ScaleY, TextFlow, DistanceL, DistanceT, DistanceR, DistanceB
```

### Parameters

| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| FileName | Specifies the image file with a full path name. |
| PageNo | Specifies the number of the page where the image is inserted, beginning with number 1. If the [ViewMode](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/viewmode-property/llms-full.txt) property has not been set to **Page View**, this parameter must be set to zero. In this case the PosY parameter specifies the position relative to the top of the control. |
| PosX | Specifies the image's horizontal position in [twips](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/document-editor/viewing/#measure-in-twips) relative to the left border of the page. |
| PosY | Specifies the image's vertical position in [twips](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/document-editor/viewing/#measure-in-twips) relative to the top border of the page or control. |
| ScaleX | Specifies a horizontal scaling factor as a percentage. |
| ScaleY | Specifies a vertical scaling factor as a percentage. |
| TextFlow | Specifies how text flows around the image. It can be one of the following values: |
| DistanceL, DistanceT, DistanceR, DistanceB | Specifies distances, in [twips](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/document-editor/viewing/#measure-in-twips), between the image and the document's text. |

#### TextFlow

| Value | Description |
