True, but that means that the AutoIt3 helpfile will be opened for ALL languages, which is not something I would want. EG: test.lua really should open the lua help.

Unfortunately not... The "paste" lasts almost 90-100ms on my PC, while the AddPicture-Method runs under 20ms An other advantage of the AddPicture-Method is that you can set the size and rotation of the Picture.

My first attempt would be to put the image into clipboard (with GDI+) and paste it in an excel sheet...
