How can I defer the "parsing" of a mail merge field in MS Word
I have a database (spreadsheet) of people's details containing a "frame"
number that refers to their photograph. I'm trying to use mail-merge (labels) to produce a picture summary card. I've constructed the following merge field within the (label) layout for the picture - {INCLUDEPICTURE {DOCPROPERTY Category}{MERGEFIELD "Frame"}.jpg \d} - this nearly works in that I get the layout I want, however though there are different personal details on each summary card, every card has the same photo. It would appear that the {MERGEFIELD "Frame"} embedded in the {INCLUDEPICTURE} field is enumerated / parsed BEFORE the mail-merge design function propergates the labels. Does anyone have any clues on how I can work round this "characteristic" please? |
