email merge embedding graphics
Hi all,
I am hoping someone can help? I am trying to email an html template that dowloads its graphics from the web. I am using the mail merge email facility to personalise the template to each recipient. The problem I have is when I pull the template into word 2003 and then complete the merge, the merge process seems to embed all the graphics into the template. Hense the message becomes quite large in size. How do I stop word from embedding the graphics? Thanking you in anticipation. Jon -- Jonathon Auckland New Zealand |

Wrap that field inside a QUOTE field: { QUOTE { INCLUDEPICTURE http://picturelocation \*MERGEFORMATINET } } You may also find it necessary to... c. uncheck Word|Tools|Options|General|Web options|Files|Update links on save Peter Jamieson "Jonathon" wrote in message ...
