You appear to have an unwanted space or two in the path.Try:
{ INCLUDEPICTURE "N:\\MAIL MERGE\\Ed's examples\\photos\\{Mergefield
Whole_name}.jpg" }
What does Mergefield Whole_Name contain *exactly*.

I've created my mail merge document linked to an excel data source.
Included the mail merge command...

{ INCLUDEPICTURE " N:\\MAIL MERGE\\Ed's examples\\photos\\ {Mergefield
Whole_name}.jpg" }

When I merge to a seperate document I can't see the pictures, just
boxes with red crosses. I've done F9 update, and have called the jpg
files the same names as they appear in the excel file.

I used Ctrl+F9 to insert my brackets; update links and fileds is
checked in the print box, picture placeholders is not checked in the
options - view box; I've pressed Ctrl+A and F9 in my output
document...

Any ideas??
