Thanks for the fast response... I tried both sites (similar, but not
precisely the same) and still, no luck.
Here is the exact scenario:
1. jpgs filed as:
C:\Documents and Settings\Michael\My Documents\CERT\Photos\sample.jpg
2. Excel data source field "Photo" includes file name, i.e. sample.jpg
3. Merge field in MS Word inserted as:
{IncludePicture "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Michael\\My
Documents\\CERT\\Photos\\{Mergefield Photo}" }

All that is shown in the merged directory is: «Photo». Nothing changes even
when I update the fields.

What on earth am I doing wrong?

Sounds like you are not executing the merge.

Doug and Graham,
Thanks for your help -- somewhere along the way I remebered something about
a "refresh on save" dialog... wouldn't you know that I found it and it did
the trick! Again, couldn't have done it without you.
