I want to merge clients name, address andphoto of client when doing mail merge.

Is there a way to do this?

Hi Dennis,

You can do this via a MERGEFIELD embedded in an INCLUDEPICTURE field. For
example:
{INCLUDEPICTURE "filepath{MERGEFIELD "MergeField_name}"}
where 'filepath is the full drive and path to the picture, and the
MergeField_name is the pictures name and extension.
Unless the path forms part of the MERGEFIELD (in which case you can leave it
out of the INCLUDEPICTURE field), you need to use either double backslashes
(ie '\\') or single forward slashes (ie '/') as the separators.

Cheers
PS: The field braces (ie '{ }') are created via Ctrl-F9 - they can't be
typed in.
