Hi, I'm using Office 2010 on Win 7 Pro x64.
I have an Excel spreadsheet as follows:
My Word doc is a Product catalog with 8 cells (in a table) for part photos. It creates a Product catalog by mail merging the respective photo if it has a "Y" in that column (using a filter). e.g. a Product B catalog would have trans, doors, rudder, prop and pistons photos. In this case, I want to merge the 5 photos in the first 5 cells and leave the remaining 3 cells blank.
I am trying to create one INCLUDEPICTURE statement in all 8 cells that will merge the photos based on the filter and leave the rest of the cells blank.
However, all the statements that I've tried merge the photos correctly based on the filter and then place a "red x - linked image cannot be displayed" box in the remaining cells. I cannot seem to make all cells after the last photo blank, because from all the reading and testing that I've done with INCLUDEPICTURE, it always wants to put a photo in the cell.
I am using { INCLUDEPICTURE { IF TRUE "photos\\{MERGEFIELD Part}.jpg" } \* MERGEFORMAT \d }
...but it fails as I mentioned above.
What same INCLUDEPICTURE statement in all 8 cells will either merge the photo or remain blank based on the filter?
This is my first post...sorry if it's not clear.
Can elaborate more if needed - Thanks.
