Default Mail Merge in Graphics

I am looking for some assistance. I have been trying to do a simple
"InsertPicture" with a mail merge using Word 2003 SP2 (also tried with Word
2000). In neither instance can I get it to work; no image appears in the
document even after ALT-F9, merging to a new document, or in Print Preview.


I studied extensively the example as posted he
http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_graphics.htm
without any success.

I have attempted the most basic of examples, using a new Word document with
only the code:
{ IncludePicture "C:\\Images\\1.jpg" }
and still can not even get this to work.

Ideally I need to have the image and path coming from a nested field like
this:
{ IncludePicture "{MERGEFIELD "FullName"}" }
using a simple tab-delimited text data source file.

Can anyone actually get this to work? If so, post the document so I can see
how it works.

Thanks,

Gary
