Re: inserting multiple pictures and description asbest <alexander.craens[ at ]telenet.be> 12/17/2008 6:31:41 PM I did try that already but the fact that the number of pictures that have to be inserted changes all the time. It is between 20 to 140 pictures... any suggestions

Re: inserting multiple pictures and description "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" <dkr[ at ]REMOVECAPSmvps.org> 12/17/2008 7:42:21 PM As suggested, use a directory or catalog type mail merge main document with the mergefield for the pictures in one paragraph, the mergefield for the description in the next paragraph and with an empty paragraph following it. Or insert a one column, two row table with one mergefield in each cell. You will then get what you want, regardless of the number of records. -- Hope this helps.
