   //Add a picture
   var pic = run.GetRange().Pictures.Add();
   pic.ImageData.SetImage(new Uri("Resources/picture.png"), "image/png");
   
   //Shift picture position 100 points lower
   pic.Position.Vertical.RelativeTo = ShapeVerticalRelativePosition.Page;

   //Set outline width
   pic.Line.Width = 2;
