Multiple photos with captions behavior

[SCrowley]

I'd like to be able to be able to insert over 100 photos at once so they will
all be a size I determine, and #per page that I determine AND have the
automatic caption feature place a caption under each photo as it is inserted
rather than inserting all the captions at the end of the document.

Use a Label or catalog type mailmerge.

Thanks Doug! I have visited the site and tried the solution. Unfortunately
it's just a little over my head. I get the concept but can't seem to make it
work. I'll keep poking at it until I get it.

Use a Label or catalog type mailmerge.

I don't know how to put the "auto caption" in as a field; unless, I just type
it as text and disregard the "auto caption" feature? What would you suggest?

Ok. I'm close to making it work but when it merges the photos they show as
placeholders even though I have that option Uncheck under Tools/Options.
Errrrrgggg.
