includepicture merge failure
I am doing a merge with pictures. I have used the
icludepicture mergecode and then inserted the mergefield where the file name goes (pictures location is in a database) and this works ... until I save the file. Then the mergefield is converted to an abbreviation of the last file merged and won't merge any more. Anybody know if this bug has been fixed? thanks .. |

Then the mergefield is converted to an abbreviation of the last file merged and won't merge any more. Which version of Word are we dealing with? Some versions are more lenient in this respect than others. You might try - execute the merge with the field codes still displayed - lock the field so that it can't update by selecting, then pressing Ctrl+F11 - next time you open the document, select the field again and press Ctrl+Shift+F11 to unlock Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 8 2004) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |
