Solution 
  • Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document doc = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveDocument;                            
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application objApplication = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Selection objSelection = objApplication.Selection;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Paragraphs p = objSelection.Paragraphs;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Range objRange = objSelection.Range;

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.InlineShape ils = objRange.InlineShapes.AddPicture(@"C:\..\image.PNG");
float scaledWidth = ils.Width;
float scaledHeight = ils.Height;
