If the field just has the name of the file, you will probably need to
supply the pathname. Use double backslashes or single forward slashes as
the path separator, e.g. something like
{ INCLUDEPICTURE "c:\\mypics\\{ MERGEFIELD photofilename }" }
substitute /your/ folder pathname and merge field name. All the {} have
to be the special "field code braces" that you can insert using ctrl-F9.
You will probably also find that you need to select the output document,
select it, and press F9 to update all the images.
If your field has the complete pathname, you /probably/ won't be able to use
{ INCLUDEPICTURE "{ MERGEFIELD photopathname }" }
as you might hope, unless the pathname has double backslashes or single
forward slashes as path separators.
You may also find inserting a \d switch helpful, e.g.
{ INCLUDEPICTURE "c:\\mypics\\{ MERGEFIELD photofilename }" \d }

I have an excel list that has a dexcription field, a price field and a photo

I am using the Word Mailmerge Catalog command. I need to know the syntax of
the Includepicture with the mergefield command.
Many thanks
