Merge for picture ID tags

Looking to do a bunch of Volunteer ID Tags with pictures. I can make the
Word Mail merge work but unable to assign a place for the pictures.

Hi Jim,

To insert pictures via a mailmerge, you need to insert a suitable MAILMERGE
field into an INCLUDEPICTURE field. For example:

{INCLUDEPICTURE "C:/My Documents/Volunteer PICS/{MAILMERGE Volunteer}.jpg"
\d}
where:
.. C:/My Documents/Volunteer PICS/ is the full path to the folder where the
pictures are stored;
.. {MAILMERGE Volunteer} is a MAILMERGE field that retrieves the Volunteer's
name; and
.. .jpg is the picture's file format.

Cheers
PS: Word's Help file has more info on INCLUDEPICTURE fields, but you'll
notice that it suggests using '\\' as the path separators. Using '/' instead
is simpler and works just as well.
