Mail Merge Image

[Matthew MacMillan]

Can anyone tell me if you can insert an image into one of
the mail merge fields. And how do you put the image in
the data source doc....

Herein lies the problem....

I have successfully used the INSERTPICTURE command and it
works nicely...but we use Smalltalk/OLE Automation to
merge documents with text and images. After a merge I
don't want the client to have to hit Ctrl-A and then F9
everytime they bring up the new document. Is there anyway
to prevent them from doing this to see the correct images?

Thanks for your help...

If you are using automation, include a command to update the fields in the
document
