Hi, all,

I don't have much experience with mail merge in Word. What I want to do
is like a template for a Newsletter with some part to be constant
(header and some pictures from an URL), and the rest to be editable.
I've made a basic document with the field {INCLUDEPICTURE 'my URL' \d
\* MERGEFORMAT } which shows the picture with Alt-F9, and I have
unchecked the option "Update links on save" in the
Tools-Options-GeneralWeb Options-Files, as suggested in other
posts. When I save the file as Web page filtered, the html code shows
the url link; but when I email the document with the Mail Merge wizard,
the picture appears embedded and the url link is not there. Is there a
way to fix this?... I

Is Word a good choice to do this? Can someone point me in the right
direction? In case it's necessary, I have some experience programming
VBA in other Office applications, and a little bit in Word. I won't be
the one editing and emailing the document, so I want it to be the
easiest possible for the user.

Thank you in advance for any idea.

Gaby
