I need to have jpeg photos inserted through mail merge for each page that
contains specific details which will be merged in word from an excel database.

Do you mean that you want a different jpeg for each record in Excel? If so,
let's suppose your Excel sheet hasa a column called picturefile with the
file name (say, mypicture.jpg) and that all the files are in a folde called
c:\mypictures. Then insert the following nested field in your Word mail
merge main document:

{ INCLUDEPICTURE "c:\\mypictures\\{ MERGEFIELD "picturefile" }" }

(You need to use e.g. ctrl-F9 to insert the special field braces {} )

You may need to check Tools|Options|Print|Update links and/or Update fields,
and if you are outputting to a new document you may need to select the
entire document (e.g. ctrl-A) and press F9 to update all the fields after
the merge.
