Merging photo fields in Publisher
Thanks in advance. I am a teacher, trying to create a monthly "Student of the Month" publication that includes student photos. The info is all in my Access Database, but I need to put out a monthly publication with pictures of a student from each class (about 26 photos) who earned the "Student of the Month" designation. I am using Publisher to do a catalog merge with my Access database. One of the fields I really need is a photo field. I have tried to follow the directions about putting links in for the photos, but no matter what I do, the actual pictures do not show up in my finished merged document. My text fields show up, and the layout is perfect, but the pictures do not come into the document. Any ideas? I am using Publisher 2003 and Access 2002.

gsauerI need the photos to show up in ACCESS too, so the photos are in my database, but I also created a field in the database that I called "PhotoLink" where I put the path to the photo files(which is in the same directory as the Publisher document and the Access database.) When it wasn't working, I put everything in the same directory so there would be no doubt about where the merge should find the photos, but it still didn't work. I also tried putting the photos in a directory under "My Pictures" and putting that path into the link field. That didn't work either. Thanks so much for your help.

Thanks Mary. I saw that article before and so I put my publication, data source and photos in the same directory, but still don't see any pictures in the merged document. I know I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what. Does it matter what I call the field in my data base that holds the links to the photos?

Hi Joan. I am having the same problem merging from Excel. Have tried everything and I know I am not doing anything wrong. I have tried all the things you mentioned on your previous posts and cannot get the photo to display. If you found out anything please let me know. "Joan" wrote: > Thanks Mary.

DKI haven't found out anything yet. I'm wondering if I don't have full
functionality of my Publisher software yet because it isn't registered yet.
I have retail media and installation codes for media that is supposed to be
delivered to me. I don't know if that could be the problem, but I am
expecting my good media (that can be properly installed) within the next day
or two, so I will keep you posted. I don't think I am doing anything wrong,
but it must not be working for a reason.

I thought of that and downloaded all the updates for office. The only thing I can think of is maybe some add-in is missing. Anyway I have written to Mary (seems like she works for Microsoft) to escalate the problem instead of asking us to visit the assitance site as a solution.

Ed, Do you have any other ideas of what could be wrong? Could it be that I don't have full functionality yet because of the registration gliche? I don't get any error messages at all - just no pictures show up.

I sent this earlier, somehow it was lost in cyberspace. The articles can articulate a solution much better than I can. If you plan to merge photos into your final publication, you will need to type either the file name or path for each picture file that you want to use in the appropriate column or data field for each record. Do one of the following : If you plan to save your picture files and your data source in the same folder, type the file name for the relevant picture. For example: firstphoto.jpg. If the picture files will be located in a different folder from the data source, type the path for the relevant picture. For example: C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Pictures\Catalog Project\firstphoto.jpg. In Publisher's catalog merge expand the pull-down to insert as a picture. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "DK" <DK@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:6B9B04B1-EDC1-4EBF-9D6B-EB69FAB0FE6D@microsoft.com... > sorry I mistook MVP as a title at Microsoft.

Joan I think I figured it out. Mine is working now. The changes I made was I went to the folder where all my photos were right clicked to look at properties and noticed the READ ONLY was checked. I unchecked that and most of my photos mergerd fine. The few that did not worked was because they were a different format Bitmap vs Jpeg so I changed the extentions in my source document and that fixed it.

Mary,
Thanks so much for your additional pointers.
DK,
I finally got mine to work too.
To All who Responded to my posts:
Thanks for your answers and discussions. I finally got it to work. I looked
at my table in Access and realized that I assigned the wrong data type to the
field where I had the photo links. I used "hyperlink" and that was jazzing
everything up. As soon as I changed the datatype of my field in access to
just plain text, it all worked fine. It was such a stupid mistake that I
made a very easy thing difficult.
I'm very pleased that this is working!

Outlook Field Names
I have many Contacts with multiple e:Mail addresses. I entered them in my Contacts as E-mail, E-mail 2 & E-mail 3. Problem is, when I go to send a message to the individual, the individual's name is listed 3 times, followed by (E-mail), (E-mail 2) and (E-mail 3), and I need to right-click each one and select Properties in order to determine which entry contains the e:Mail address I want to send to. Is there any way I can change these field names (ie; Pers e:Mail, Work e:Mail, etc)? No. --� Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion in...

Pivot Table Page fields #3
Hi I need some help with the page fields settings on the pivot chart. When you drag an item into the page fields then automatically in the drop down menu for that item we find ALL option which I do not require. Is there a way to remove that?

Word mail merge
After printing a document there exists a activity with subject "Word Mail Merge" to the contact with status completed. Is there a possibility to change the subject name or to make a link to the original Word document? R, Joop. I think that the subjct name is hardcoded. The issue of only adding this paltry information to the activity and not showing what document was sent is a problem many have asked about. Microsofts workaround to this glaring gap in functionality is to then add a copy of the word document to the record using notes. Totally unworkable if you have just mail merg...

Web page template back to publisher template
Hope I explain this properly. My Grandpa uses Publisher 2000 (better for his eye sight) All he does is card templates on it.

Book fold etc. I can only guess that somewhere along the line he has clicked something to change some of his card designs to web page. If it was me I would put it down to stupidity and do another template but he is 96 and very stubborn. He "knows" its nothing that he has done and says Microsoft must h...
