This is a pretty simple prank and it can be done with out code, but I think code gives it that extra gusto. The way this prank works is when you loud word it will set all active documents to have your own custom picture as the background. The guy to this is the picture.

For this example I used my avatar. I use it every where from Digg to IM:

I placed the picture in my c drive and copied the path.  The key to this is that you want to be caught.  I would recommend using an image of you giving a thumbs up or the middle finger.  Something that says, I got you now.  Once the picture is in follow these steps:

Step1: Open Word

Step2: Press Alt F11

Step3: Place code in your normal template

Sub autoexec()
Call prank
End Sub

Sub prank()
Dim x As Document
Set x = ActiveDocument

ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdWebView
ActiveDocument.Background.Fill.UserPicture _
PictureFile:=”C:\h.png”
End Sub

Step4: Add the path to your image on the line where it says picturefile:=”

Step5: Press Ctrl S (save)

Step6: Close word and wait
