Re: conditional inclusion of pictures

Oooof… this is driving me insane!!! But thank you so much for bearing with me.
Okay, my syntax is no longer changing since I unchecked
Tools|Options|General… etc but sadly, as you predicted, removing the
\*MERGEFORMAT switch did nothing to sort out the size of the images.
However, I am still dealing with the issue of images not showing up. So I
ran a test in a new word document with the dropdown1 field which contains:
AirFrance, AlItalia, Emirates, Etihad and so on and so forth.
I then entered some fields as follows:
1. {REF Dropdown1} which, as one would expect, returned the name of the
Airline selected in Dropdown1
2. {Includepicture “d:\\Airlines\\Logos\\AlItalia.jpg} which returns nothing
3. {Includepicture “d:\\Airlines\\Logos\\{Dropdown1}.jpg”} which returns
nothing regardless of the airline selected in dropdown1
4. {Includepicture “d:\\Airlines\\Logos\\{REF Dropdown1}.jpg”} which returns
nothing regardless of the airline selected in dropdown1
5. {IF “{Dropdown1}” = “AirFrance” “{Includepicture
“d:\\Airlines\\Logos\\AirFrance.jpg”}” {IF “{Dropdown1} = “AlItalia”
“{Includepicture “D:\\Airlines\\Logos\\AlItalia.jpg”}”}} which worked a few
minutes ago for AlItalia but not for AirFrance (go figure) but which no
longer returns anything at all and the only thing I can find that I can think
of that I did between the first try and the second is that I changed a little
formatting on the page and typed this out in the same document because I lost
it the first time I did it directly online!!!!!
I’m going to give the whole lot another try with a fresh… will move the
logos into a newly created folder and rewrite everything in a new word doc
and see what happens!

Uncheck Word Tools|Options|General|Web Options|Files|Update links on save

For the image size thing, make sure there is no \*MERGEFORMAT switch in the
field. I doubt if that will fix it, but it seems the most likely culprit as
things stand!

Thank you both again.
Peter, I appreciate the offer to send you the images but I'm quite certain
they are the same size. In Photoshop, they're all 200dpi and are all
approximately 7cm wide (and between 1 and 7 cm high depending on the shape
of
the logo (or approx 600 pixels wide by 100 to 600 high)

Graham, if you'll bear with me... I have NO idea why this isn't working.
Really liked your idea of simply referncing the dropdown name (so long as
it's the same as the file name). Didn't realise it could be done that way
but yes, makes perfect sense.
Sorry, this is all very new to me.
However, it won't work.
Here's my syntax, just as you said except that I moved the images into a
new
folder...
{ Includepicture "d:\\Airlines\\1 AWB Logos\\{ REF DropDown1 }.jpg" }

But then I lock the form and test and no images appear and so I unlock and
every time I unlock, I find my syntax has changed to the following:
{ INCLUDEPICTURE "Airlines/1%20AWB%20Logos/.jpg" \* MERGEFORMAT }

Is that normal or am I doing something wrong?


Thank you both so much.

Are you creating the graphics yourself or getting them from elsewhere? I
just wonder whether the .jpgs really are all the same size or whether
they
look the same size in the application you usually use to check. (It's not
an
area I'm particularly familiar with, otherwise I'd be more specific! You
are
welcome to e-mail them to me (despam my e-mail
pjj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx by removing the KillmapS if you want to do
that) and I'll have a look.

Hi there...
I have created a form that has a dropdown list of airlines such as
AlItalia,
Emirates, etc... and I've entered an IF / THEN string to include the
logo
of
the airline so that if Emirates is selected then the Emirates logo
appears,
and so on and so forth.
I'm having a few issues though...
1) All the logos show, but one. For some reason when I "Update Field"
after
selecting "Air France" the logo simply doesn't appear. I get a blank.
As
far as I can see, the syntax is fine!
2) All the logos are saved at the same resolution of 200dpi and are all
approximately 3 inches wide and yet some show up at the right size and
others
show up much smaller (about 1 inch wide)
3) Is there an easy way to have the "includepicture" field update
automatically? There are a number of users who will use this form and
even
if I select to update fields in the options so that the form prints
properly,
they're going to get confused when they don't see the logo pop up.

Here's a shortened version of what I have...
{IF {Dropdown1} = "Air France" "{Includepicture "D:\\Fake Stuff\\1 AWB
Logos\\AirFrance.jpg"}" {IF {Dropdown1} = "AlItalia" "{Includepicture
"D:\\Fake Stuff\\1 AWB Logos\\AlItalia.jpg"}" {IF {Dropdown1} =
"Emirates"
"{Includepicture "D:\\Fake Stuff\\1 AWB Logos\\Emirates.jpg"}" "" }}}

Thanks so much
mercedes
