There is a function "INCLUDEPICTURE" in the mail merge capabilities of Word 2019 that is supposed to bring the referenced pictures into the mail merge document. I have been unable to get this work, despite several days of reading various suggestions on the web so I am looking for some additional suggestions.
Running Mojave 10.14.4 and Word 16.25. I am wondering if the problem might be related to the new security 'features' of Mojave
Thanks
Well, a bit of good news and possible issues. The good news as I have been able to make it work, but there are some differences between what I was doing before
Differences
In the following link http://www.msofficeforums.com/mail-merge/21803-mailmerge-tips-tricks.html
the recommended construction is as shown above.
But in the link provided by Barney-15E, it shows the recommended construct to look like (see below)
The only difference is an extra pair of quotes.
So my merge document was a 'Labels' document that looks like this after a 'Labels Update'
I then did a 'Finish & Merge' with the following result
So you can see the links are present. I have been able to do this many times in the past.
In the past after a Select All and then ALT+F9, I get the correct names and an empty picture box. BUT this time, I got my pictures loaded
In conclusion, this positive outcome could be due to the difference I mentioned at the top of this note OR the extra quote marks. Preliminary testing indicates that if I remove the extra quote marks it still works. I can not test the differences mentioned at the top of the note for a few days, but will report back when I get a chance.
It appears to also work with both the database and the word merge document are residing on my OneDrive folder AND it also works without saving to Word 97-2004.
So that leaves two last possibilities:
When I get back to my desktop, I will see if I can get it to work.
Unless someone here has solved this on their own, I suggest you try the Microsoft Answers community: Word: Office 2019 for Mac.
You should list the things you have tried as we can only offer up links to solutions which you may or may not have seen, like this: https://support.office.com/en-us/community?threadid=424d6057-1440-4f5e-afe7-e553edfcd99d
Also, if some suggestions did not work, what was the result? If there is some change due to Mojave, it might help knowing the result of each suggestion to give a hint as to why it is failing.
@ VikingOSX.... I tried that first and so far the suggestions have not worked.
I think I have tried most of those suggestions, but to be fair, give me a couple of day to work through the comments/suggestions in the link you provided and I will then report back Thanks
