Large Graphic "Mail Merge"
Make sure the paragraph you're inserting them into doesn't have Exact line
spacing. If you want all the graphics to be the same height or width, put the field in a table cell. -- Suzanne S.

I now have lots of includefile fields that update properly, but when the photos are inserted, it seems like the photos are being cropped/cut off. Is there a way to insert the photos without any cropping or unintended additional formatting? __________________ Note: To reply, replace the word 'spam' embedded in return address with 'mail'. |

They are going into two boxes.. 2 pictures Side by side. Initially 1 line high.. 1200x1600 format. When inserted directly in, they are fine. When inserted via includefile, they seem to take on a default sizing of their own. Is there a way to "force" them to fill a cell? __________________ Note: To reply, replace the word 'spam' embedded in return address with 'mail'. |

If a picture is smaller than the designated "box," I don't think there's any
way to make it larger. My experience was with shoehorning very large photos into smaller cells. -- Suzanne S.

No, the photo seems to take on some pre-designated default size when included as an include file field. When clicking on the box and then inserting a photo, it's fine. It's like using the field code is forcing some kind of formatting change. __________________ Note: To reply, replace the word 'spam' embedded in return address with 'mail'. |

FWIW, the field code I'm using is this:
{ INCLUDEPICTURE "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Suzanne S. Barnhill\\My Documents\\My Pictures\\Rotary\\Member Photos\\{ IF { MERGEFIELD Photo } = "" "No Photo" "{ MERGEFIELD Photo }" }.JPG" \d } I'm inserting it into a table cell with exact height and preferred width. -- Suzanne S.

It seems to just come in as default when linked.
You format the pic for desired size, but it seems to revert when you change the source or update it. Maybe use a quick VBA routine to update and resize the pics? here's my field contents: { INCLUDEPICTURE "C:\\Documents and Settings\\jm065225\\My Documents\\My Pictures\\1.bmp" \* MERGEFORMAT \d } Jay |

Maybe use a quick VBA routine to update and resize the pics? here's my field contents: Hmm, I only want them to resize to fill the table cell on a document that gets edited every week. I suspect it retains some sort of formatting when I do an insert picture, but I lose it when I try to do an IncludePicture.. I'm not looking to change the actual size of the picuture.. (Eg. Not go from 1600x1200 to 640x480) So the change is a formatting only change. Is there some sort of VBA script that will change the formatting only in the document? { INCLUDEPICTURE "C:\\Documents and Settings\\jm065225\\My Documents\\My Pictures\\1.bmp" \* MERGEFORMAT \d } Which is basically what I have.. __________________ Note: To reply, replace the word 'spam' embedded in return address with 'mail'. |

Is there a way to type the VBA directly into a table cell? __________________ Note: To reply, replace the word 'spam' embedded in return address with 'mail'. |

Check the Word MVPs FAQ-
I know you can create a button or other control linked to a macro. Maybe there's a better way. |
