As embarassing as this is, I'm telling on myself so that if someone else has
this issue, they can learn from my mistake. I was doing all the fields
correctly, in a table in order to regulate the photo size -- what I didn't do
correctly was this: When I merged to the new document, I Selected All and the
Shf+F9, it works correctly when I Select All and F9 only!!! Sometimes a good
nights sleep clears my head. Thanks for your help and replies!!!!

I can't think what this might be, but given that IT has been screwing
around, may I suggest that you check that you are using straight quotes
rather than smart quotes and you don't need quotes around Headername.

I actually got the info from your article
"www.gmayor.com/mail_mail_graphics.htm {IncludePicutre
"E:\\Temp\\{Mergfield FirstName}{Mergefield LastName}.jpg"}
No, the space before .jpg was not intentional, I'll fix that. I
created an excel sheet (located in My Data Sources\File Folder -
along with the photos themselves) that lists the photo names under
header DarienPhoto {Mergefield "HeaderName"}
No it doesn't work by itself. I know this is user error I just can't
get my arms around this.
Thanks so much for your help. I've actually made this work before and
ever since IT reinstalled my "profile" I haven't been able to
recreate this.

Is that space before .jpg intentional? it probably shouldn't be
there. What happens when you use Includepicture to insert the
image(s) in a plain (non-merge) document?
What does {Mergefield "HeaderName"} on its own insert into the merge
document?
Is that what you expect?

Word 2003 I have created a table with the following fields in each
cell (including {Next} in contiguous cells:
{Includepicture "C:\\Doc & Settings\\My Name\\My Docs\\My Data
Sources\\Folder Name\\{ MERGEFIELD "HeaderName" } .jpg" }
Caption {AUTONUM\*Arabic}
When I merge to new document I Clt+A, Shift+F9. (BTW) Display
Placeholders is "un-checked" under tools/options/view...I see an
outline of a box with the picture icon in the top left corner. I
have had the picutre merge
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
