Automatically resize merged graphic
Hi folks,
I realise a similar question has been asked before but my need is slightly different. I am merging using Word 2003 and including a conditional graphic where the path depends on the result of another merge field. After some hunting online I found the construction below on Graham Mayor's site: { INCLUDEPICTURE "{ IF { MERGEFIELD ftrImage \* MERGEFORMAT } "" "{ MERGEFIELD ftrImage \* MERGEFORMAT }" "[manual file path]\\Blank.jpg" }" } Much to my delight this works. Unfortunately, I've just noticed that the process resizes the graphic (I think Word is worried about the margins but could be wrong). Is there a way to force Word to leave the graphic at 100%? [I can't figure out how to apply macropod's suggested solution to a similar issue (using a text box) because my INCLUDEPICTURE is the opposite way around; it doesn't work if I try to put the INCLUDEPICTURE inside the IF statement (it just merges to show the filepath)]. Thanks, Ferg |

Automatically resize merged graphic
Try putting the field construction inside the cell of a one row, one column
table in which the cell dimensions are appropriate for the full size image. -- Hope this helps.

Automatically resize merged graphic
Hi Doug,
Unfortunately that didn't work. The merge was fine but Word still shrank the graphic in the table despite the fact it was plenty wide enough. Any other ideas?
