Mail merge graphics
I am creating a letter that has a photo included of each person referenced in
the letter. Meaning I have used the following field code: {INCLUDEPICTURE "W:\\WIN\\MDAS\\MIDHARE\\START\\IMAGES\\PHOTOS\\{M ERFGEFIELD PROVIDER_LAST_NAME}{MERGEFIELD PROVIDER_FIRST_NAME}.jpg" It used to work & now it won't. I have tried the update all, Ctrl-A, F9. This will not put the photo in the letter. I have the code in a 1 row, 1 column table that used to keep the picture contained, not allowing it to use the entire page. I have checked & double checked the naming, all files are jpg, each file is named lastnamefirstname. Do you think it may have to do with the double backslashes "\\". I am unsure of the logic of backslashes anyway. |

The ".jpg" needs to be inside the closing field delimiter }and the field
delimiters need to be inserted by the use of Ctrl+F9. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
