Im using Excell 2000 as a realestate database, I have 50+ rows of property
information including a cell with a photo number (i.e.: 174 means C:\...Nicon0174.JPG) and I would like to print out "flyers" of each property for investors. I use Word form with mail merge and want to include the actual picture in the merged documents. All the other information comes over from Excel fine. How can I get the actual picture into the merged document? Thanks, JJA |

Hi ?B?SkpB?=,
Im using Excell 2000 as a realestate database, I have 50+ rows of property information including a cell with a photo number (i.e.: 174 means C:\...Nicon0174.JPG) and I would like to print out "flyers" of each property for investors. I use Word form with mail merge and want to include the actual picture in the merged documents. All the other information comes over from Excel fine. How can I get the actual picture into the merged document? you'll find steps for including pictures in a mail merge in the Mail Merge FAQ on my website (special merges section). Basically, in your case, the IncludePicture field code mentioned would look like this: { IncludePicture "C:\\Nicon0{ Mergefield Photo }.jpg" } Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 8 2004) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |

I have followed the instructions in the link.
I have a couple of questions for my project. I am trying to build a photo member directory, ideally, I want to have only 2 columns on 8X11 paper (portait) with unknown amount of records. 1. If, I don't have a picture of the "cat", but I do a generic picture, how can I get that to populate instead? 2. Also, how do I get this layed out to be in 2 comlums. (and don't have to create a layout for each record.

I'll let Graham follow up on the specifics, but, to help him help you, do
you want the entire directory to be in two snaking columns, or do you want each record to be in two columns, one for the picture and one for the address information? If the former, you just format the mail merge main document as two columns; if the latter, insert a one-row, two-column table with your photo mergefield in one cell and the address mergefields in the other. -- Suzanne S.

Assuming that the Image mergefield contains the path\\filename of the
picture, you should be able to use { IF { Mergefield Image } "" "{INCLUDEPICTURE {IF TRUE "{Mergefield Image}"} \d }" "{ INCLUDEPICTURE { IF TRUE "Path\\filenameofdummyimage"} \d" } -- Hope this helps.
