Insert Object in a document - powershell

Question

I try to insert a txt file to a document with
$doc.selection.InlineShapes.AddOLEObject($txtFile)
But when I run it I get an error message:
What could be the problem? tnx
The code:
$Global:path = "C:\Users\user\desktop"
$txtFile = New-Item $Global:path -Name TxtFile.txt
$docx = New-Object -ComObject Word.Application
$docx.Visible = $true
$docxFileName = $docx.Documents.add()
$docx.Selection.range.InsertAfter("hello")
$docx.Selection.InlineShapes.AddOLEObject($txtFile)
$docxFileName.SaveAs([ref]$Global:path,[ref]$SaveFormat::wdFormatDocument)
$docx.Quit()

Answer 1

Use this. Please read in-code comments.
Check out the documentation for AddOLEObject for more info.
$Global:path = "C:\Users\user\desktop"
# I've added the -Force flag. because if the file already exists,
# $txtFile will contain an error instead of the object you expect
# $Global:path > $path because you don't need to specify the scope when you use a variable.
$txtFile = New-Item $path -Name TxtFile.txt -Force
$docx = New-Object -ComObject Word.Application
$docx.Visible = $true
$docxFileName = $docx.Documents.add()
$docx.Selection.range.InsertAfter("hello")
# This line should contain an empty argument for ClassType, then the file path for FileName
$docx.Selection.InlineShapes.AddOLEObject("",$txtFile.FullName)
# again, $global:path is not required.
# you can specify a path and the docx extension will be added automagically
$docxFileName.SaveAs("$path\somefilename")
$docx.Quit()
