Inserting Existing picturebox in VB to MS word?

Question

I'm using VB pro and MS Word 2010, and I want to Insert an existing picturebox to my MS word.
I'm using this code :

Dim opic As Word.InlineShapes
opic = oDoc.Bookmarks.Item("Signature").Range.InlineShapes.AddOLEObject(SignaturePictureBox)

but it only gives me an error of "The program used to create this object is System. that program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding. to edit this object, install system or ensure that any dialog boxes in System is closed." This pops out every time I try opening the Word template. I have used the word template for bookmarked textbox and datagrid and this never happened. But when I tried using the template for the picture box this happens? What do I do?

You cannot add a .NET control (PictureBox) to a Word document.

If you want the image that the PictureBox is displaying to be added to the Word document, you have to add the image, not the PictureBox.

I see then, may I ask what that error means?

Or is there any other way that I can automatically place a signature in MS Word?

That's Word telling you that it has no idea what application is used to edit/render the object you managed to insert into the document.
