Re: More stupid INCLUDEPICTURE questions

Hi macropod,

I've constucted paths using { filename \p } before, e.g. where you have

folderx
docy.doc
docy.doc.folder
docz.doc

and use

"{ filename \p }.folder\\docz.doc" to reference the .doc

but I don't think I've ever actually tried the \\..\\ thing before and am
quite surprised that it creates a legit. pathname.

Because there's mixture of single backslashes and doubled backslashes in the
constructed path name so it's a bit surprising that it works at all,
anywhere, but then that's often the way with fields :-)
