I am creating a letter that has a photo included of each person referenced in
the letter.

Meaning I have used the following field code:

{INCLUDEPICTURE "W:\\WIN\\MDAS\\MIDHARE\\START\\IMAGES\\PHOTOS\\{M ERFGEFIELD
PROVIDER_LAST_NAME}{MERGEFIELD PROVIDER_FIRST_NAME}.jpg"

It used to work & now it won't. I have tried the update all, Ctrl-A, F9.
This will not put the photo in the letter. I have the code in a 1 row, 1
column table that used to keep the picture contained, not allowing it to use
the entire page.

I have checked & double checked the naming, all files are jpg, each file is
named lastnamefirstname. Do you think it may have to do with the double
backslashes "\\". I am unsure of the logic of backslashes anyway.

The ".jpg" needs to be inside the closing field delimiter }and the field
delimiters need to be inserted by the use of Ctrl+F9.

Hope this helps.
