Mail merge pictures - missing links
I've created my mail merge document linked to an excel data source. Included
the mail merge command... { INCLUDEPICTURE " N:\\MAIL MERGE\\Ed's examples\\photos\\ {Mergefield Whole_name}.jpg" } When I merge to a seperate document I can't see the pictures, just boxes with red crosses. I've done F9 update, and have called the jpg files the same names as they appear in the excel file. I used Ctrl+F9 to insert my brackets; update links and fileds is checked in the print box, picture placeholders is not checked in the options - view box; I've pressed Ctrl+A and F9 in my output document... Any ideas?? |

You appear to have an unwanted space or two in the path.Try:
{ INCLUDEPICTURE "N:\\MAIL MERGE\\Ed's examples\\photos\\{Mergefield Whole_name}.jpg" } What does Mergefield Whole_Name contain *exactly*. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Meltad wrote: I've created my mail merge document linked to an excel data source.

Mail merge pictures - missing links
Hi Graham,
I can't see the bmp files I am trying to merge into labels. All I see once a merge to "edit individual labels" are red x's. The bmp files are headshots. I have an excel file with my text, ie. First, Last This is the field code I am using. { INCLUDEPICTURE "C:\\Reunion\\{ MERGEFIELD First}{MERGEFIELD Last}.bmp" } Do I need a field in my excel file relating to the pictures? What do you think?

Did you merge to a new document and update the fields in that document?

Do the names you are deriving from the merge fields match exactly the
filenames of the images? Is the path correct. Does INCLUDEPICTURE "C:\\Reunion\\picturename.bmp" } work? where picturename is a combination of the fields? Check what { MERGEFIELD First}{MERGEFIELD Last} produces *exactly*. Word will not make a best guess about the filename and path. It has to exactly match. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org JAH wrote: The select all, than hit F9 procedure - yes I did that, and then the pictures with the red x's came up.
