Default WHO MOVED THE GRAPHICS?

Hi All. I am trying to merge a document that contains graphic images. The
merge itself with the Access data is no problem. When I open the messages in
Outlook the graphics have moved to different locations on the document
resulting in no correlation between the text and the images. Please help
urgently.

Default WHO MOVED THE GRAPHICS?

If you are trying to merge to the body of e-mail documents, it is no
surprise that the layout has changed. The formatting requirements for Word
documents and html e-mail are entirely different. If you want the format to
stay the same you should send the merge documents as attachments (ideally in
PDF format) - see http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm and
http://www.gmayor.com/EmailMergeWithAttachments.htm or see the article
prepared by fellow MVP Doug Robbins at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/...ttachments.htm

Hi Graham. Thanks for your response. Anybody know of any way around this? I
specifically do not want to send attachments.

Then you will have to create your document in html from the outset and use
tables to layout your document. Working in Word, the web view may provide
some clue as to what is required.

Hi Graham. I have solved this by saving the word document as a jpeg image and
inserting the image into the mail merge document. Tested this and it worked
great. Great pity that Word is used as the default Outlook editor but cannot
interface correctly as far as this goes.
Thanks for your imput.

Best regards
Andrew
