Hi Marco,
The MergeFormatInet is applied when you paste using
'HTML format' from Internet (INET) Explorer through
Edit=>Paste Special, so the switch would be to preserve
the Internet derived formatting information on field
updates when the \* (format) switch is used.
If you copy the URL for the webpage graphic into the
Insert=>Picture=>From File filename field and select the
Insert=>link option it will use the MergeFormat switch
instead in the include picture field.
=========
Can s'one tell me what special purpose has brought MS to
generate a "\* MERGEFORMATINET" in an included picture,
instead of the "\* MERGEFORMAT" ?
I found no description of it on the web.
Thx. >>

I hope this helps you,
Bob Buckland ?
