It should work fine in every version of Word from 97 to date, assuming of
course you have the tools options view picture placeholders unchecked.

Graham and Rob, I have been having problems getting this very
function to work in Word/2000 after having it work beautifully for
years in Word/97. If there is anything you can tell me about why
doing the ctrl+A and then F9 doesn't load the picture anymore, I
would be extremely appreciative, since we need to upgrade to
Office/2000 at least!

Hi

I'm trying to create a mail merge that will include a different
picture for each addressee.
The data source is an Excel xls that includes a column called
XmasPic. This entries in this column are integers between 1 and 10.
I have a number of wmf files in my c:\ folder called 1.wmf, 2.wmf
......10.wmf

In the mail merge document I have setup includes the following
statement (when field codes are displayed) :-


{ INCLUDEPICTURE "c:\\{ MERGEFIELD "XmasPic" }.wmf" \* MERGEFORMAT }


which I had hoped would pick up the appropriate picture for each
addressee. The remainder of the document (ie. the text bits) merge
correctly but the statement above doesn't seem to work....I get no
picture at all.

Anybody have any ideas how to get this to work?

Thanks
Rob
