Merge image field not displaying Graeme 12/17/2008 8:07:01 AM I am trying to use images in a word merge from Excel, without any success. In the original document I have three fields I have made to try and diagnose the problem: 1. {MERGEFIELD Flag} 2. {INCLUDEPICTURE "E:\\{MERGEFIELD Flag}" } 3. {INCLUDEPICTURE "E:\\{MERGEFIELD "Flag"}" } But in the new merged document, after I have prssed Ctrl-A and F9 to update, I still get 1. ae.jpg - which is the correct filename 2. {INCLUDEPICTURE "E:\\{MERGEFIELD Flag}" } 3. {INCLUDEPICTURE "E:\\{MERGEFIELD "Flag"}" } when I expect 2. and 3. to have something like: 2. {INCLUDEPICTURE "E:\\{MERGEFIELD ae.jpg}" } What have I done wrong?

Re: Merge image field not displaying Graeme 12/17/2008 10:50:16 AM That's it! I had just typed them in by hand, hoping Word would pick it up. When I used Ctrl+F9 is solved the problem. thanks "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Did you use Ctrl+F9 to insert the field delimiters { }? > > -- > Hope this helps. > > Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my > services on a paid consulting basis. > > Doug Robbins - Word MVP > > "Graeme" <Graeme[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:9C459E85-0BED-4F67-9374-3DC4071822CD[ at ]microsoft.com... > >I am trying to use images in a word merge from Excel, without any success. > >In > > the original document I have three fields I have made to try and diagnose > > the > > problem: > > > > 1. {MERGEFIELD Flag} > > 2. {INCLUDEPICTURE "E:\\{MERGEFIELD Flag}" } > > 3. {INCLUDEPICTURE "E:\\{MERGEFIELD "Flag"}" } > > > > But in the new merged document, after I have prssed Ctrl-A and F9 to > > update, > > I still get > > > > 1. ae.jpg - which is the correct filename > > 2. {INCLUDEPICTURE "E:\\{MERGEFIELD Flag}" } > > 3. {INCLUDEPICTURE "E:\\{MERGEFIELD "Flag"}" } > > > > when I expect 2. and 3. to have something like: > > > > 2. {INCLUDEPICTURE "E:\\{MERGEFIELD ae.jpg}" } > > > > What have I done wrong? > > >
