MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / May 2004OLE Problem - Repost
This picks up on an earlier post on how to Mail Merge OLE objects from an Access Database. I tried this and got it working after several tries. The only bug is the pictures resize automatically causing distortion in my letter which has to fit certain window positions on the envelope. Is there any way to have the pictures expand or contract to fit a frame of some sort?

Hi Paul, Try inserting the image into a single cell borderless table with fixed cell dimensions.

Hi Paul, My preference is to use a FRAME (from the Forms toolbar) with an EXACT setting for the critical dimension (either width or height). The picture should fit that, and the other dimension resize proportionally. > This picks up on an earlier post on how to Mail Merge OLE > objects from an Access Database.
