You'll need a graphics editor that can handle layers, such as Adobe PhotoShop or the free Paint.Net (http://www.getpaint.net). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Thanks, I downloaded Getpaint, but I don't see how it will help me with my merge. I'm referring to a mail merge operation from an Access database. I was hoping to link the pictures in access and have them show up in the merged output. -- Yours, Dan S. support your local money changer's guild.

My apologies -- I misread your question as asking to merge photographs into map images, the way Google Earth or Live Earth shows photos overlaid with road names and such.
