Re: Help to merge Image (Doug Robins?)

Hi Peter.

Sorry but this does not work for me. Im using Access 97 and Word 97 if that
matters. I tried this in an existing merge document, then in a brand new
Word document that I merged with a data source.

Before inserting any merge fields from the source, I tried Alt F9 - nothing
appeared. I then inserted one merge field. Using F9 alternately changes the
merge field from <<FamilyName>> to {FamilyName} but I cant get { } to
appear on their own.

Any further ideas?

Thanks for the help, JohnB
