MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / September 2004Wrap Text
After merging pictures using the includepicture field, can I wrap text around that picture? If you right click on the picture, click on format picture. Goto layout and choose how you wish to wrap the text around the picture. Formatting this way makes the picture a free-floating picture and allows you to move the picture to wherever you wish. Be careful, if you get to close to the margins, your picture may disappear. Keep that undo button handy. =} >-----Original Message----- >After merging pictures using the includepicture field, can I wrap text around >that picture? >. I am sorry I was not specific enough. I have about two or three hundred pictures to merge so I wanted to do something automated. Is their some sort of field command that will allow me to do that. >-----Original Message----- >If you right click on the picture, click on format [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >> >. What kind of database do you have the pictures in? Other than the OLE in Access, I'm not familiar with such a database. >-----Original Message----- >I am sorry I was not specific enough.

I then use the includepicture field command to merge the the picture with the memo field in access to a Word document. The problem I have is once I merge it into Word the text does not wrap around the image. My desire is that there is a command I can use to get the text to wrap around the picture. Thanks for you help >-----Original Message----- >What kind of database do you have the pictures in? Other [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > >. Then is there anyway to put the field in a text box and have the wrap in your merge document? I've never personally tried that, but in theory, it should work. Could you put a white box around where the merge picture would be and format it already to accept the wrap around? >-----Original Message----- >Actually I have the path of the picture in a field in an [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] >> >. It worked. Thanks for your help. One quick question is there a way to automatically update without pressing the F9 key.

Which one worked for you? the text box or the white box? I didn't know you had to hit the F9 key to update. What are you updating by hitting the F9 key? >-----Original Message----- >It worked.

I am using F9 to update the pictures once I merge the picture into the documents. Without F9 I have a box with an X in it. >-----Original Message----- >Glad it worked...

Use a frame instead of a textbox (the Format/Textbox/Textbox dialog box has a button that will let you convert your existing textbox). Now, merge to a new document, Ctrl+A, F9 to update all the results.
