on save"

Greetings,

I have been testing the methodology outlined in the link below, as
suggested
by many:

2. http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_graphics.htm

I have however experienced problem - with MS word automatically updating
my
equation everytime I save, from:
{ INCLUDEPICTURE "c:\\toolbarimages\\{ MERGEFIELD Photo }" \d }
to
{ INCLUDEPICTURE "toolbarimages/E001.bmp" \* MERGEFORMAT \d }

this unfortunately upsad the bloody "smartness" of the merge - picking up
the same photos everytime, rather then changing the photos they pick up
based
on what is being described in excel...

Is there ways that I could disable the auto update or fix the problem?

please help

Cheers.
