There was some discussion of that in this forum years ago (search this forum
for "includetext conditional," result for 3/15/2006). The solution isn't very
reliable and you will see an error message box every time the file doesn't
exist, but the idea was something like:

{IF {INCLUDETEXT "{IF TRUE "E:\\Temp\\{Mergefield FirstName}{Mergefield
LastName}.jpg"}" } = "File is not available" { INCLUDEPICTURE
"e:\\temp\\default.jpg" \d } {INCLUDEPICTURE "{IF TRUE "E:\\Temp\\{Mergefield
FirstName}{Mergefield LastName}.jpg"}" \d } }

I haven't tested this myself, but there it is if it helps.

There is also a commercial add-in that entirely solves the problem named
OnMerge

I am trying to use the includepicture syntex..

However, what I am looking for, is if I don't have a picture, then I want it
to use a default picture as in e:\temp\default.jpg. How can I do this.

Thanks in advance.
