Graphics - Merge process
Hello Grahame
Yes, in out database we use two types of Graphic Images, the Plots are "WMF" and the Photo's are "JPG". Thanks for the advise Nick -----Original Message----- Merge to a new document, Select All (Ctrl+A) then press F9 to update the fields. wmp? That's a Windows media player format. I thought we were discussing jpg files? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP Web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site www.mvps.org/word NickH wrote: Hi Grahame Thank you for showing me the Obvious,I did as you suggested, and removed the paths from the data file. But I am still not able to merge the Graphic Images into the Document. {IncludePicture "c:\\Temp\\{MERGEFIELD Description} "} Toggle {IncludePicture "c:\\Temp\\plt1.wmp"} I know it must be something I am doing incorrectly. I have four Images in the data file and when I run the MergeField Function I end up with Four empty windows with a small Red cross in each one! Regards Nick -----Original Message----- If you look at your statement: "If I toggle on the MergeField section I obtain: {IncludePicture "c:\\Temp\\c:\temp\AFCDNs.jpg"}" it should be obvious where the problem is - the path! Either remove the paths from the data file or from the IncludePicture field.

Therefore I have saved the graphic image(wmf)in to a su- directory on a drive and listed the file and directory in a table "tblPhoto" within Access. I have then open a new document and written the following code: {IncludePicture "c:\\temp\\{MERGEFIELD Description \d}"} If I toggle on the MergeField section I obtain: {IncludePicture "c:\\Temp\\c:\temp\AFCDNs.jpg"} Assuming this is correct, using "CTRL +A" and F9 and "CTRL+A" again I should obtain the graphic on a new document, I have tried different sequences, but all with the same result. The only way I have managed to input(Not Merge) a graphic image in was by using: {IncludePicture "c:\\temp\\AFCDNs.jpg} This works fine, but does not incorporate the other graphic images from the list in the "tblPhoto" in Access. Any help please, I would be most grateful. Regards Nick . . |
