transfer data of table as caption for pictures
I'm using a template report with a table where information is stored
about picture taken on a site inspection. Is it possible to automate the insertion of those pictures into another table in the same document and...include the information from the report table as caption? All of the information is copied from an excel file. Any suggestions are welcome. This procedure is taken so much time and is getting frustrating. |

transfer data of table as caption for pictures
If in Excel, you have the filepath\\filename of each of the pictures in one
column and the caption in another column, you could use mailmerge to create a document containing the images and the captions. See the "Graphics from data base" item under the "Special merges" section of fellow MVP Cindy Meister's website at http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindy...r/MergFram.htm -- Hope this helps.

transfer data of table as caption for pictures
Doug,
I tried the method explained on the website you suggested but It seems not to work. I only see a frame with a small white rectangle with a red cross in the corner. What am I doing wrong, is there some examples i could download to check how to do the mail merge etc.. As you can guess I'm new at all this, so bear with me.
