Thanks. I'll check that out. I'm making progress. It seems that it is
necessary to use F9 to update or this just doesn't work as expected. I have
to do some testing in a real document - only been using a little test doc so
far - then I have to see if I can write a macro to make the necessary
changes in hundreds of existing docs.
When merging graphics you need to merge to a new document then update the
fields in that document - see http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_graphics.htm

Thanks again. I went to your site to look around and found some helpful
information and to Cindy Meister's site. I think some of the issues I'm
having are related to using Excel as a data source. I'm wondering if a text
file would be better. What can you tell me about that?

The Excel data source should not be an issue provided its use produces the
correct filename and path - however the conditional field may be - see the
workaround at http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm
(Conditionally Insert a Graphical Image)
