How to add OpenAI's Image Generation capability (DALL·E 2) to Microsoft Word
## 1. Description
With the click of a single button you can access OpenAI's awesome capabilies to generate unique images in Microsoft Word
https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/52817125/226598489-a03c1b9d-cf48-46e8-8ac9-2cd0cd18c075.mp4
## 2. Getting Started
### 2.1 Dependencies
- Requires an OpenAI API Key (create an account and get API Key at https://chat.openai.com)
- Requires Microsoft Windows 10/11 (https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/windows)
- Requires Microsoft Word 365 (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us)
Please be aware of the [costs](https://openai.com/pricing) associated with using the OpenAI API when utilizing this project.
### 2.2 Download Folder for Images
All images created will be saved to the following default folder in Windows 10/11
```
C:\Users\Public\Pictures
```
### 2.3 AI Models
This application uses the following OpenAI model:
| Model | Description | Iteration |
| ------------- | ------------- |------------- |
| DALL·E | A model that can generate and edit images given a natural
language prompt. The current model has more realistic, accurate,
and 4x greater resolution images than the original model. | 2nd |
Further information about all OpenAI models can be found here: https://platform.openai.com/docs/models/overview
We endeavour to test and integrate newer models when they are become Generally Available (GA). Models released as a 'Limited Beta' will not be integrated until they become GA.

## 4. Installation
There are 4 basic steps in order to add a DALL·E Image Generation button into Microsoft Word:
1. Enable the Developer Tab
2. Import the VBA script file
3. Create the **Image Generation** button
4. Add your OpenAI APIKey
Each of these steps are fully outlined below.
### 4.1 Enable the Developer Tab
The Developer tab isn't displayed by default, but you can add it to the ribbon.
**Step 1** - On the File tab, go to Options > Customize Ribbon.
**Step 2** - Under Customize the Ribbon and under Main Tabs, select the Developer check box.
The latest instructions to enable the Developer Tab from Microsoft can be found here:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/show-the-developer-tab-in-word-e356706f-1891-4bb8-8d72-f57a51146792
### 4.2 Import the Dalle.bas file
**Step 1** - Download and Save the latest Dalle.bas file from this repository in the src/windows directory.
Keep the location of where the file is saved as you will need it later.
**Step 2** - On the Developer tab, click the Visual Basic button.
**Step 3** - On the File tab, go to Import File...
**Step 4** - Select the Dalle.bas file and click Open
### 4.3 Add your DALL·E Image Generation button into the Microsoft Word Ribbon
**Please Note:** This project closely relates to our *Add ChatGPT to Microsoft Word* project found here: https://github.com/analyticsinmotion/add-chatgpt-to-microsoft-word. If you have have already added that project into Microsoft Word you can start at Step 3 of this section.
**Step 1** - Add a new tab **(OPTIONAL)**
- On the File tab, go to Options > Customize Ribbon
- Click New Tab
**Step 2** - Rename the New Tab to **AI Assistant** **(OPTIONAL)**
**Step 3** - Add New Group and rename it to **DALL·E**
**Step 4** - Select Macros in the Choose Commands from dropdown box
**Step 5** - Select the Dalle Macro and click Add >>
**Step 6** - Rename button to **Image Generation**, select a Symbol and click OK
After the preceding steps have been completed the Microsoft Word screen should look like the following:
### 4.4 Add your OpenAI APIKey into Windows
**Step 1** - Open the Start menu and start typing "environment variables". When the best match appears click "Edit the system environment variables" result.
**Step 2** - Click the "Environment variables" button under the "Advanced" tab.
**Step 3** - Create a new user variable by clicking "New" under the "User Variables" section.
**Step 4** - Type the variable name **OPENAI_API_KEY** in the first field and your OpenAI APIKEY in the variable value field. Then click OK.
**Step 5** - **IMPORTANT** You must restart Windows to apply the new environment variable
## 5. Best Practices for API Key Safety
Your OpenAI APIKEY key/s should be kept secure and private at all times.
