How i can use this code to a word document selecting the photos and use this code to assing a border to it?

You should really put "Option Explicit" at the top of your module. Assuming of course the variables not dimensionalized in this subroutine are not public variables declared outside it, which you just failed to mention. You should adopt some better practices when producing code for others.

Aside from that, thanks for the code.
