The answer I think is that in Word 2000 SR-1 and Word 2002 SP2 Microsoft
changed the behaviour of several things like INCLUDEPICTURE and INCLUDETEXT
possibly to patch a security issue. They describe the changes and possible
registry patches at the following page.

I have just run into the same problem and am still nutting it through - I'd
love to be able to achieve it without a registry change at each site that
does the mailmerges.

Very weird, Graham. I couldn't get it to work either. I looked and looked
and looked again and again at the syntax...

The images on the web page were screen shots from Word with this
working - so it clearly works as shown.
Why it is prevented from doing so on your hardware is a different issue
entirely

No, nothing shows, not even a picture placeholder.
I appreciate the answers, but has anyone actually tried this? It does
not appear to work as documented. I am preparing to open a tech
incident with Microsoft because I need this solved.
