Default Import or merge DWG / Picture files into a document

Could you expand on your suggestion of roll your own program. I know very
basic VBA and generally come here and other sites to get me started. It
appears to be more difficult mechanically than mentally - it seems easy in my
head - smile. Would it make a difference if I converted them to JPG's?

You are probably not going to be able to do this with mailmerge. It would
however, using vba, be possible to "roll-your-own" application to do it.

I have a folder full of dwg files (AutoCAD files). You can insert the file
manually so I know it accepts the format. However, my goal is to create a
page with six squares (a table 2x3) and insert a picture in each square
and
then it will repeat as it processes through all the files in the
designated
folder. If possible it would be nice that the filename gets posted
somewhere
for identification purposes. Does this make sense, can anyone help?

I have started to research on the board how to do this but haven't found a
solution to get me there yet.
