Is there any way to get photos included in a mail marge?

See the "Graphics from data base" item under the "Special merges" section of
fellow MVP Cindy Meister's website at

I've tryed to get that to work, but only a box with the red cross in the left
corner comes up, so i think it might mean it cant find the files. any

See http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_graphics.htm . You must merge to a new
document then CTRL+A and F9 to update the images. If you are conditionally
merging images, then you need to see the relevant section at

Another easier option is an add-in called OnMerge Images which automates the
entire image merge setup and merging process. It automates the macro coding
& allows you to merge straight to the printer or email without the whole
CtrlA AltF9 dance. A free demo version is available at
http://onmerge.com/Demo.html.

Hope this is helpful,
Miles

$79 to save a couple of simple steps doesn't sound such a great deal to me?
