Word 2003 Field code within a field code
I have a unique problem. I am trying to use the INCLUDEPICTURE field code.
The document I'm using is linked to a very sophisticated database software
program and I have received instructions on merging data from this database
INTO the INCLUDEPICTURE field to create the filename for the photo files. An
example is typed below:
{INCLUDEPICTURE "G:\\START\\IMAGES\\PHOTOS\\{MERGEFIELD
"PROVIDER_LAST_NAME"}_{MERGEFIELD "PROVIDER_FIRST_NAME"}.GIF"}
In the above example, the photo filenames are all matched up to the fields
referenced in the formula (last_first.gif). These are the correct field
codes, and the double slashes are important, I have been told.
My problem is that as soon as I save the document containing the above
field, the underscores all change to "%20" and the field doesn't work!! No
one at my software vendor's help desk can help me with this problem. Does
anyone know anything about preventing this??
Thank you!
Cheryl
