Do the names you are deriving from the merge fields match exactly the
filenames of the images? Is the path correct.
Does INCLUDEPICTURE "C:\\Reunion\\picturename.bmp" } work? where
picturename is a combination of the fields?
Check what { MERGEFIELD First}{MERGEFIELD Last} produces *exactly*.
Word will not make a best guess about the filename and path. It has to
exactly match.

Hi Graham,
I can't see the bmp files I am trying to merge into labels. All I
see once a merge to "edit individual labels" are red x's. The bmp
files are headshots.
I have an excel file with my text, ie. First, Last
This is the field code I am using.
{ INCLUDEPICTURE "C:\\Reunion\\{ MERGEFIELD First}{MERGEFIELD
Last}.bmp" }
Do I need a field in my excel file relating to the pictures?
What do you think?

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??
