Here is the situation:

I have an Excel worksheet as the data source and have a Word merge document
to display the information. We have just added some renders of the items and
I would like to add the graphics to the word merge document. I have tried to
use the {includepicture €œ{image}€�} command to display the images at the paths
specified in the Excel worksheet but have had no luck in doing so.

The command I am using is: {includepicture €œimage€�}.

The image field in the Excel sheet has a full path to the filename
(c:\\dir\\file.jpg). Whenever I add this command and attempt a merge it
simply deletes the command in my merge template. I have followed the
instructions in both of the primers that are commonly cited and have finally
hit my frustration level. At this point Im losing time trying to get this
working and would have been better off actually typing the documents by hand
and pasting in the photos. Of course that isnt a scalable solution like that
one I envision and I would like to get this working.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
