Each record in the worksheet should have a complete drive name, path, and file name (in a single column) for the graphic associated with that record. Just make sure you set up your worksheet so that it contains the file address of the graphic you want to merge. For instance, you might have an Excel worksheet that contains a group of real estate listings. The key to merging graphics is to make sure that you don't try to merge the graphic itself, but to merge a field that 'points' to the graphic file. There may be times, however, when you want to merge a graphic into your document. Normally the mail merge feature is used to merge text into a document-items such as a customer name or a part number. The mail merge feature in Word is extremely powerful, and you can use it to easily create customized versions of documents from information in a data source (such as a Word table, an Excel worksheet, or an Access database).
