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 "{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 "image"}.

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 I'm 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 isn't a scalable solution like that one I envision and I would
like to get this working.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
