More stupid INCLUDEPICTURE questions
OK, I have checked again on Word 2000 and it seems to work much the same
way. Can you check your INCLUDEPICTURE field /really/ carefully and make sure that the path it constructs from the various fields and text is identical to the path of the image you want to insert, other than having doubled-up backslashes. No extra spaces (easy to insert by accident when cutting/pasting)! Peter Jamieson "Peter Jamieson" wrote in message ... Sorry LAR, I had forgotten you were using Word 2000. I'll have a look at that version. Peter Jamieson "LAR" wrote in message ... Peter, Thanks for the help. This is more what I was looking for. Seems like it should work. I have changed my INCLUDEPICTURE to your syntax below, and while the syntax works the pictures still load from the DOCUMENTS path in toolsptions:files locations:documents. ???? It almost seems like I have some basic setting wrong that is making the INCLUDEPICTURE use that DOCUMENTS path. Thanks again for taking a look.

I am now trying to use the INCLUDEPICTURE field to insert pictures into my mail merge document. I would like to be able to merge pictures into the document that are in the same folder as the main document. Here is what I have tried and seen. I have successfully merged the pictures by using the entire path to the picture using something like {INCLUDE PICTURE "C:/temp/{MERGEFIELD picname}.jpg" \* MERGEFORMAT}. However, I want to be able to use the "current folder" to merge the pictures from. I have tried {INCLUDE PICTURE "{MERGEFIELD picname}.jpg" \* MERGEFORMAT} only to find that WORD uses the DOCUMENTS path (Tools:ptions::file locations::documents) as the path for the merged files. I know this because I have moved some of the pictures into the DOCUMENTS path folder and only the pictures that I move there appear in the merged document. I tried to use a relative path with things like {INCLUDE PICTURE "../{MERGEFIELD picname}.jpg" \* MERGEFORMAT} with no luck. I've looked at all the VBA examples for AutoOpen but could find nothing the TEMPORAIRLY changed the DOCUMENTS path to that of the source (main) document. So now, here I am again, asking how to accomplish what seems like a simple task (merge the pictures in the current folder into my document) that I can't seem to figure out for myself. Thanks in advance for any thoughts for ideas. LAR |
