INCLUDEPICTURE field does not update properly

S

Simon Katz

I have a field like this in MS Word 2003:

{ INCLUDEPICTURE "foo\\goo\\hoo.PNG" \* MERGEFORMAT }

When I press F9, the field does not always update.

When I open the document, I'm in a state where I can F9
and update the picture. If I continually press F9 then
control-Z (Undo), the picture continually updates and
reverts. I can keep doing this for a while -- certainly
for more than one minute and probably longer though I
haven't tried. But, if after an Undo I wait for five or so
seconds, a subsequent F9 has no effect.
(In fact, I think that any keyboard or mouse activity
prevents the picture from locking.)

For comparison:

- In Word 2000, there is no problem.

- I have no problems updating this field:

{ DATE \@ "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" \* MERGEFORMAT }

FWIW, I have the latest patches installed.
