I wish mail merge graphics in Word from Excel.  The field name in Exel is
Photos.  Each cell has the full path to the picture file stored on C: I have
made several attempts without success.  Any assistance would be appreciated.

You would use the INCLUDEPICTURE fieldcode, but you put the full path to the
picture in this field so would not need it in the excel file - so assuming
that all your pictures are in say C:/pictures the INCLUDEFIELD field would
be as follows:
{ INCLUDEPICTURE "C:\\pictures\\{Photos}.jpg" /d }

So Photos is the mergefield, and the /d is optional - this prevents the
graphic from being saved with the document if you want to keep the file size
down.
