Mail merge with pictures
You can't do this directly, and it will be complicated to add them until
your pictures are named to match an existing field in the data file. The principle is shown at http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_graphics.htm See also http://www.gmayor.com/mailmerge_from_outlook.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Colonel Blip wrote: Hello, All! I would like to do a mailmerge from OL2k3 which includes the graphic (photo) in the contact as well as the normal name, address, etc. Is there a way to do this with mailmerge? I could not find a field that 'sounded like' the photo graphic field. Thanks, Colonel Blip. E-mail: |

I am not sure that Outlook stores the pictures in a suitable format, but if
it does, see: See the "Graphics from data base" item under the "Special merges" section of fellow MVP Cindy Meister's website at http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindy...r/MergFram.htm You will also need to initiate the mailmerge from Outlook to get access to the necessary field so also See the "Mailmerge from Outlook" item on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at: http://www.gmayor.com/mailmerge_from_outlook.htm -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Colonel Blip" wrote in message ... Hello, All!

Hi Colonel!
Publisher's Catalog Merge will do that, if you happen to have that terrific program. ;-) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Colonel Blip" wrote in message ... Hello, All!

I thought I knew Publisher reasonably well, but I didn't think it interfaced
with Outlook - let alone use the photographs attached to the contacts list, which don't appear to be part of the data file? What did you have in mind? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org JoAnn Paules [MVP] wrote: Hi Colonel!

I may have made an assumption that isn't true. I assumed he already had this
info out of Outlook. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...

Graham, Doug, & JoAnn,
Thanks folks for the leads. I will explore. Actually, following up on JoAnn's comment, I do have the pictures available separately & Publisher. I'll have to look at the Catalogue Merge feature and see what that is all about. I'll probably be back for more advice. Thanks again. Colonel Blip.

Hello, JoAnn!
You wrote on Sun, 2 Apr 2006 16:26:33 -0400: Ok, as promised, 'I'm baaaccckkkk'. Using Pub 2k3, I tried the Cat. Merge and checked out how I might do this. I have the data a couple of ways. First of all, all of my photos can be in a folder. Let's say I name them with the same name as the fields for the person - "lastname_firstname.jpg". I have the names/addresses in a couple of forms - Paradox database or OL 2k3 (I can export OL data to near anything - xls, txt, or csv file. My first try - Paradox data and Merge wizard. I could get the merge on PD to work, but the formatting is a hassle since field lengths on the Pub page are fixed and merging leaves lots of space if field is big enough to handle longest name. I could find no way to add a picture except by inserting it directly, but then the merge feature for names/addresses is not much value if I am trying to make this largely an automated product. I'm probably missing a lot - any advice welcome. Thanks, Colonel Blip. E-mail: JPM I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you. :-) |

I have to be honest and tell you that I haven't played with the catalog
merge. Post your question over in the Pub group and let the others take a stab at it. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Colonel Blip" wrote in message ... Hello, JoAnn!
