VBA Knowing if paragraph is an IMAGE
I have the following code:
For Each DocPara In ActiveDocument.Paragraphs
If (DocPara.style = "Title 1") Then
...
Else
(if DocPara is LIST then)
...
(else if DocPara is TABLE then)
...
End If
Next DocPara
Is there any way to know if the current paragraph is an IMAGE.

The current paragraph cannot "be" an image because any image is always a character in a paragraph OR anchored to a paragraph. It would be necessary to count the number of images in / attached to the paragraph's range.
So a paragraph cannot be just an image, it will always contain at least one string character (ANSI 13, the paragraph mark) and may contain an unlimited number besides an image.
Word supports two kinds of images: InlineShapes and Shapes. The first are handled the same as characters; the latter have text-wrap formatting.
An image formatted with text-wrap may appear to be "in" a paragraph, but is not, and may not even be anchored to the paragraph where it appears. So when the type of image in question is a Shape it's not really possible to determine whether there's an image "in" a paragraph by querying the Paragraph object.
Here's the code to determine whether an InlineShape is in a paragraph and whether any Shapes are anchored to a paragraph. Based on the way your question is phrased I'm hoping your images are InlineShapes...
Dim rngPara as Word.Range
Set rngPara = DocPara.Range
If rngPara.InlineShapes.Count > 0 Then 'the paragraph contains an image
If rngPara.ShapeRange.Count > 0 Then 'an image is anchored to the paragraph

Could you please post this as a new question @Helloit'sme - with the code you're using. And are you sure the image is linked (IOW you're not asking for the path from which it was inserted, but truly a link)?

Be aware, too, that you can loop through shapes & inlineshapes without testing each paragraph.
