Hello,
I am desperately trying, in WORD 2003 or 2007, to create a mail merge where I insert an image, the path of which is located in the Excel file containing all the information.
I have followed the procedures found on the web (for example here: http://faqword.free.fr/articles.php?lng=fr&pg=976), including merging into a new document at the end and updating with CTRL+A and F9.
A square exactly the size of my image appears, with a small red cross in the top left corner, and the image is never visible.
I don’t know where to look anymore. Is it a restriction in Word's display options? The image doesn't appear when printed either.
Thank you in advance.

Hello
The problem has nothing to do with the image sizes. In fact, it's best to add the switch \d so that the images are linked and not inserted, if the goal is to print and not to keep the file.
Whether you put the path before the field or in the database makes no difference.
Are you sure that the image is indeed at the root of C:?
Try the following:
- Insert, Picture, from file, choose your image, and select Insert as link
- Switch to code view (Alt+F9) and copy the name with the full path of the image without the quotes
- Paste it all into your Excel cell
- Restart your merge by removing the c:\\ :
{ INCLUDEPICTURE "{ MERGEFIELD foto }" d }
making sure that your field is indeed called "foto"
Restart the merge (and of course not just the preview).

Hello,
Ahhh! This mail merge with images certainly gets a lot of attention, doesn't it!!!
It MUST work... And many users encounter problems, and every time it’s because something hasn’t been followed properly in the procedure...
Yep, I know a thing or two about it, it’s my site!!! :D
Can you copy the INCLUDEPICTURE field for me exactly?
Or, even better, upload the file to
https://www.cjoint.com/

I've simplified it as much as possible, with a file placed blindly on my C.
{ includepicture "c:\\{MERGEFIELD "foto"}" } with the name moederenzoon.jpg in the table under the foto column
I saw 2 ways to proceed in the FAQs I consulted, either by putting the full path of the file in the Excel table or just putting its name - which is what I did here.

Hello m@rina
Well done on your site!
I've been trying for 3 hours but I must be an idiot because I can't get this darn merge to work!
I'm attaching the Word file in question: https://www.cjoint.com/?ffmWbmpRxq
and the Excel database where the photo paths are located: https://www.cjoint.com/?ffm7gUNjZ7
Would you be so kind as to take a look at what's wrong?
Thank you

Well, it's always the same hassle.
I tried to do what you told me, but I must not understand everything!!
I'm sending you my 2 files that I've worked on so that it looks a bit more like something ;)
If you could take a look and especially tell me why I'm struggling? I don't like not understanding.

I don't understand where your image is located?
On the main Word document or on the Excel database?
Mail merge: merging a template document with a database (Word or Excel or Access or Outlook) => produces several new documents filled with the requested fields from the database.
If the image is always the same on all your merged documents, the image should be in the main Word document. In this case, merging the Word document (including the image) with the data/fields from the Excel file should be done without any issues.
If the image is different in each of your merged documents, then it should be in the database. I don’t think you can insert an image into Word’s database.
For an Excel database, I don’t think so either. BUT I don’t know.
Check the format of your image on the main Word document.
Where does it come from? How was it saved (gif, jpg format, etc.)? How did you insert it?
The problem could stem from there. Make sure it appears on the screen, that it prints, and that it doesn't have a "too heavy" weight.
I hope this helps you.

Hello,
You have only 50 options:
Either we resize the cell size automatically to fit the image, or we don't resize it.
Indeed:
Either the image is larger than the cell, in which case it can fit the cell,
or the image is smaller than the cell and it won't grow...
If you want to enlarge your photos, you would need a macro, but I don't know how it would turn out depending on the resolution of the photo.

m@rina
thank you very much marina
indeed I want to enlarge the photos so that they fit the size of my table cell or the page (to see what would be most practical)
If you have any ideas for a macro that could enlarge the photos, I would appreciate it...
thank you again for your super quick response!!

The problem with the macro, I think, is that you can set a height and width, or impose a proportional enlargement, but if you only set a height, the proportions will not be respected.
This is possible if all your images are the same size. And in that case, of course, the table is no longer necessary.
The other solution is to use not a table cell but a text box because in a text box, the image adjusts to the size of the box. However, since it will be impossible to select everything to update since (it's a bit special), a text box is a field and inserting a field into a field, well...
So, you insert your text box and convert it into a frame: right-click on the text box, format the text box. Under the Text Box tab, click the "Convert to Frame" button. You check that the size is the desired one and insert the INCLUDEPICTURE field into your frame.
Let me know if it's better.

Another great case for you, M@rina & the others...
Your tutorial is super powerful... as long as we're not dealing with network files (which is, of course, my case). It’s necessary to change the image addresses by not writing the common root to the database and the photo folder.
(e.g.: excel file at \\Server\common\stock\inventaire.xlsx and photo folder at \\Server\common\stock\images\chairs. The file path to be entered in the inventory is then images\\chairs\\photo_name.JPG)
That said, I still have a problem: if I don't update the fields quickly enough (actually, before Word finishes its mail merge), I end up with those infamous red cross frames again... However, Word is often faster than I am.
I eagerly await your ideas, and thank you all in advance!

Hello Marina,
I tested in the text area converted into a frame but it's not any better.
The image is reduced to the size of the area but it doesn't enlarge either proportionally or otherwise.
Maybe I missed something...
If you have any other ideas, thank you in advance.
Have a great day and thanks again.

Hello Marina
I have tried several times and I can't reproduce the mail merge with photos as described on your site.
Could this be related to using a 2000 version of Word?
The links display correctly from the Excel file in Word, I tried to insert the image and retrieve its address, Ctrl A + F9 to preview the result, but nothing appears.
Can you provide me with some information?
Thanks in advance.

Hello remy49,
I've struggled for a long time with inserting images in mail merges ... and from experience, I can tell you I had fewer problems with Office 2000 than with 2003.
If you followed the procedures outlined, there might be another avenue to explore. INCLUDEPICTURE is very poorly accepted inside a conditional field ({ IF ... }). Is this possibly your issue?
If that's the case, remove your INCLUDEPICTURE field and check the result
Best regards,
Tof67

Hello,
After trying more than 99 times, I finally managed to create a mail merge with images.
My mistake was in how I wrote the command. I'm not a WORD PRO, so I didn't distinguish between {INCLUDEPICTURE ....} and the procedure described on the FAQWORD site.
I've understood that you shouldn't use COPY/PASTE for it to work. The curly brackets must be obtained using the keyboard command Ctrl + F9, and then you must enter the command correctly while respecting the syntax (including spaces and quotes).
I still don't know why, but once this is done, in the form letter the "formula" disappears from the screen (but it is still there); whereas other fields remain visible.
Finally, when the mail merge is executed, no image appears in the generated document (this is in accordance with the described procedure) do Ctrl A to select the entire generated document, then F9 and the joys of computing — the images appear.
Thanks again to those who helped me achieve this mail merge WITH images.

Hello,
Actually, INCLUDEPICTURE works well in mail merge as long as you create a refresh macro for each record change, but during the merge, it merges with the first image it finds in the list of records.
And if we don't use INCLUDEPICTURE, it returns the text of the image file's address.
Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your help.
The macro precisely avoids having to press F9, but it is linked to the First, Previous, Next, and Last buttons, and it only works when viewing the merge result on-screen, record by record.
When we start the merge to a new document or to the printer, the macro does not work and Word merges by sending the image of the first record for all records.
See you!

Hello
to enlarge the image in Word, you need to right-click the mouse, go to image format, then wrapping, then in front of the text, and you will change the image format as you wish. It's just a small idea.

For the majority of you who cannot find it:
all the { } must be

For those tearing their hair out trying to find the famous tutorial that everyone is talking about, I’ll give you the steps that allowed me to create my photo catalogs with mail merge in Word 2007.
1) Create an Excel spreadsheet containing the desired data ("fields" that can correspond to a name, a description, numbers, etc.) in the form of columns. Include a column titled "photo."
2) Create a folder with the photos to be inserted into the catalog. It's good for these photos to be organized in this folder in the same order as the Excel list to which they will correspond.
3) If you need to resize the photos, I recommend the mini program "photo reducer." I use the custom format 848 x 322.
4) To obtain the access paths of the photos, use the mini program "freecommander xe" or similar. (After choosing your photos in the program's explorer, select in the "edit" tab the option "copy full name as text.")
5) In Excel, click on the first empty cell in the "photo" column and paste. All the links will be positioned in the column in the order of the photos in the folder.
6) Select the entire "photo" column and replace the symbol \ with \\.
7) In a Word document, go to the "mailings" tab, use "start mail merge," choose "step by step mail merge wizard." In the left section: "directory," "current document," "existing list," and "browse," then select the Excel file containing the data and validate the sheet where your data is located.
8) In the secondary tab "insert merge field," select the desired data and format the document to your liking. For the part where you insert the photos, include the "photo" field in the same way and then press alt+F9. { mergefield photo } will then appear (do not try to write it; it won't be taken into account).
9) Position yourself on this text, right-click, and choose "toggle field codes." In "field name," choose "includepicture" and, on the right, check "the data is not saved with the document" (unless, of course, you want to include them directly in the final Word document).
10) Reposition yourself on the text (alt+F9 if you get the message "Error! Filename not specified") and place the cursor just after the text includepicture leaving just a space, then again do "insert merge field" and choose "photo."
11) Click on "finish & merge" in the secondary tabs and choose "edit individual documents" (regardless of the type of message you have in the first document in the "photo" field, don’t panic; everything will be fixed in the second document).
12) In the new document, press ctrl+a to select everything and then (I searched for this for hours!!!) press F9! Not alt+F9, just F9.
13) If the images do not display, it is strongly possible that it is a setting in Word options. At worst, I can give you mine (***@***).
14) Either print directly or print as PDF to share the document (unless you've directly embedded the photos in the document, in which case you can share it as is).
I don’t know if this will be useful to you, but I keep these notes close by just in case ;)

As I explained to you earlier, my issue is that the image is not being included. Instead, I have the link to the photo present in my EXCEL table.
I forgot to mention that I am using Office 2013.

Hello yavi17
I must have been providing support for this tutorial for twelve years now!! :) and so far we've always managed to get through it.... So, let's keep at it!
What strikes me is that you have INCLUDEIMAGE (or INCLUREIMAGE?)... and not INCLUDEPICTURE... Do you have an old version of Office? Because INCLUDEIMAGE (field in French) was used a long time ago, before Microsoft switched all the fields to English (while keeping some French names in the list!).
So, either you have an old version, and all fields must be in French, or you have a recent version (and when I say recent... it's at least since 2003), all your fields must be in English. Check that in your main mail merge document. In my tutorial, you'll see that it's not INCLUDEIMAGE but INCLUDEPICTURE.

Thank you Marin@ for your hope, but I've been pulling my hair out for 4 days! lol
So I have the 2013 version of Office in French
and it's INCLUDEPICTURE (sorry, I made a mistake)
I've tried everything with the switch \d, \c...... with spaces or without spaces... anyway, it's not working.

Could you show your files? You can upload them to https://www.cjoint.com/ and send me the link via DM if you don’t want the whole world to grab them!
Here I am again,
I have a real problem! I remember that the first time I had an issue with the placement of spaces.
I just tried all of them!
I updated my document, I merged, then I did a ctrl+A (to select all), then I hit "F9"
And now nothing happens!!!
If I do ctrl+A and then alt+F9 I go from "error!error!..." to my image link address.
Can someone help me?

In Word 2013, after numerous unsuccessful attempts, I tried a solution found on the Microsoft website that worked well:
{IF {INCLUDEPICTURE {IF TRUE {MERGEFIELD Image}} \d} {INCLUDEPICTURE {IF TRUE {MERGEFIELD Image}} \d}}
In Image, I put the complete path calculated via an Excel function.
As a result, there's no longer a need to press F9 each time, and the images are indeed different for each document.

Your mail merge procedure with images works very well.
I have a complication that arises afterward: I want the merged images to use the entire space of my table cell.
I need each image to actually be a full page (well, almost since I have a few lines of text above).
With a table cell or by another means, do you have a solution to propose?
Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry, but after some digging, I managed to insert an image from the mail merge field using the code: {INCLUDEPICTURE {MERGEFIELD Photo} d}.
The problem is that it doesn't take the value of the Photo field specific to each record, but instead keeps the first photo I inserted as a link when viewing the code with Alt F9.
???
Thank you for your responses.
