printing images in Word documents

I have images in my file that I want to add to Word merge documents.  Is there any way to print them as a Word merge document?  Any other way to print them?

Try an INCLUDEPICTURE field. Here's a tutorial. Note the instruction that a bug in Word will prevent this from working if you save as docx instead of doc.

I tried your suggestion but I can't get it to work!  I get the first picture I try to print and then the picture never changes!!  Any other ideas?

You'll probably need to put some VBA in the document that runs after the merge executes and forces an update on all the fields. INCLUDETEXT and INCLUDEPICTURE fields are not good about auto-refreshing. Something like:

Code
Select All
Sub UpdateFields()
Dim oFld As Field
For Each oFld In ActiveDocument.Fields
    oFld.Update
    oFld.Unlink
Next
End Sub


Or, you can refresh manually with Ctrl-A, then F9.
