From the Tools menu, select Templates and add-ins and uncheck the box
against the MMtoDocsRev18 item. Then exit from that dialog and open that
template. With the template open, press Alt+F11 to open the Visual Basic
Editor and under the TemplateProject (MMtoDocsRev18) Project, expand the
Class Modules folder and select the MergeApplication. In the code window on
the right, scroll down to the Private Sub app_MailMergeAfterMerge(ByVal Doc
As Document, ByVal DocResult As Document) and add the following line of code

NewDoc.Range.Fields.Update

immediately before

NewDoc.SaveAs FldrPath & fnames(i)

Go back to the Word Document window and save the template and close it.
Then in the Templates and add-ins dialog, place a check mark against the
MMtoDocsRev18 item.

Now when you execute the merge to a new document and accept the Merge to
Individual Documents option, the image fields should be updated.

Post back here with the results.

I use MS Office 2003 and Windows XP. My goal is to create individual
documents with text, tables and images from a mail merge. Previously, I
used a SplitMerge macro that I found at the website of Graham Mayor:

http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm

I would run the mail merge, update the document by pressing Ctrl+A and F9,
and then run the SplitMerge macro to create individual files. I am now
working with a document where some pages are portrait and others
landscape. Because the formatting is controlled by section breaks, the
SplitMerge macro breaks up the pages for each record into separate
sections, partly overwriting previously saved documents from earlier
records.

A partial solution to this problem was a template called MMtoDocsRev18.dot
by Doug Robbins that I found on the same page as the SplitMerge macro (see
URL above). The information for each record is properly saved as an
individual document, with the page orientations intact. However, the
images are not updated and all documents show the same images from the
first record. To display the correct images I have to open each document
individually and then press Ctrl+A and F9.

Is it possible to automatically update the images before the merged
document is split into individual files?

Many thanks for your help.
