Default an image mail merge quirk (but not how do you merge images)

What is the field code in the generated INCLUDEPICTURE field?

e.g. { INCLUDEPICTURE "c:\\abc\\mypics\\def.jpg" /*MERGEFORMAT }

or what?

Here, I would ensure that Tools|Options|General|Web Options|Files|Update
Links on save is unchecked, and get rid of any \*MERGEFORMAT switch in the
INCLUDEPICTURE field before merging, and (possibly, after a recent
conversation, add a \d switch at the end of the field).

i tried that and it erased the images leaving only the vague box place
holder.

any other ideas?
