Default Insert Variable Pictures in Word Merge

I want to know if its is possible to have the operator enter the name of a
picture to insert in a merge document, as the merge is occuring. The picture
will be different each time the document is produced, so INCLUDEPICTURE won't
help and only the operator will know which picture is for each document.

Default Insert Variable Pictures in Word Merge

For the scenario that you describe, I believe that it would be better to
execute the merge to a new document and then insert the appropriate pictures
into that document in the appropriate places.

The normal way would be to include the path\filename for the pictures in the
data source and then let mailmerge take care of the whole thing.

See the "Graphics from data base" item under the "Special merges" section of
fellow MVP Cindy Meister's website at
