Hello all.
I am having problems saving a document with an INCLUDEPICTURE mergefield. I
have typed the following:

{ INCLUDEPICTURE "C:\\Pics\\{ MERGEFIELD "Firstname" } { MERGEFIELD
"Lastname" }.jpg" }

The document merges fine to a new document and the pictures all show as they
should. But when I save the original document, the code changes to:

{ INCLUDEPICTURE "../../../Pics/Aleesha%20McDonald.JPG" \* MERGEFORMATINET }

If merging again, all the pictures come up showing Aleesha McDonald (the
first name in the Excel database. In am using Office XP. Why would this
happen? Are you not able to save an INCLUDEPICTURE function which includes a
MERGEFIELD code?

Please help!

Thanks,
Shane.

In Tools/Options/General/Web options/Files deactivate the checkbox next to
"update links on save" (or similar). That's what's causing the abomination.
