including a different image in each letter being sent
Do you have a "full" version of Photoshop? If so, would their automation
tools let you do the cropping (I only have the Elements version here and the automation features are very limited). It might well be possible to automate the cutting up of your scanned document into several pieces using Word, but a. it could well depend on which version of Word you have and what image formats you are able to save as from your scanner. You might be better off asking in another Word group (perhaps a programing-oriented group) about that b. you might have other imaging applications that would make automating this easier. -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "-keevill-" wrote in message ...

If you have a printed label sheet and OCR software you should be able to extract the data from the labels to create a new database - but I understood you already had the data file to create the labels, so where does the scanning come into it? If by scanning, you intend a means to obtain the graphics for your merge then once you have done that, the process I linked earlier is the means to get those images into your merge document. It doesn't get simpler than that. There is no way to pick individual graphics from a scanned document and include them in a merge. You will have to extract them first and associate the file names with your data. by way of explanation, I have a pile of customers who send me their logos. Normally I have cut out their logos and pasted them onto an A4 sheet individually so that each A4 sheet contains about 6 logos and then I scan the sheet. I then use Photoshop to cut out and paste each logo onto each letter. I am trying to make this a faster job. I was trying to avoid scanning each logo individually if possible- rather scan 6 or so at one time and somehow use mailmerge to pull the logo out of these sheets automatically. It seems pretty clear that I must do each logo individually but I was just trying to explore the possibility that there may be some shortcut . I do not need to use OCR for this job. |
