Here's a solution to a vexing problem for which I wasn't able to find
this answer in this group (at least not in the time I spent searching).
Hope this it helpful to someone.

PROBLEM

The document containing INCLUDEPICTURE merge fields does not update the
pictures, but instead displays the same image on every page. Using
Ctrl-A -- F9 to update fields does not update the pictures or fields.

SOLUTION

Save the file first. Then use Ctrl-A - F9 to update all the
INCLUDEPICTURE merge fields, and all the pictures will be updated.

DISCUSSION

In this particular case, the document was generated from a Directory
document type, via the Merge to New Document command. The resulting
document had the name Directory1, but had not yet been saved to disk.
Saving it to disk and then operating on the saved file resulted in the
displayed pictures being updated.

The include file name included a relative path, forward slashes, and
the whole string was quoted:

{INCLUDEPICTURE "../../My Pictures/LSZprints/LSZ088.JPG"}
