Have you ever found yourself spending too much time manually refreshing fields in a Word 2007 document during a mail merge process? Well, fret no more! The Auto Refresh Includepicture Field feature is here to make your life easier and save you precious time.
This handy tool in Word 2007 allows you to automatically refresh Includepicture fields in a mail merge document without the need for manual intervention. This means that any changes made to the image source files will be automatically reflected in your merged document, ensuring that your final output is always up to date.
To implement this feature, you first need to ensure that the Includepicture field in your Word document is set up correctly. The Includepicture field is used to insert images into a Word document from specified file locations. Once you have inserted this field into your document, you can then set it to automatically refresh when changes are made to the source image files.
To enable the Auto Refresh Includepicture Field feature, simply follow these steps:
1. Click on the Includepicture field in your document.
2. Right-click on the field and select "Edit Field" from the context menu.
3. In the Field dialog box, check the box next to "Automatically update document styles."
4. Click "OK" to apply the changes.
With these simple steps, you can now sit back and let Word 2007 take care of refreshing your Includepicture fields for you. This feature is especially useful when working on documents that require frequent updates to images, such as product catalogs, reports, or newsletters.
It's important to note that the Auto Refresh Includepicture Field feature only works with Includepicture fields and will not automatically update other types of fields in your document. So, if you have other fields that require updating, you will still need to refresh them manually as needed.
In conclusion, the Auto Refresh Includepicture Field feature in Word 2007 is a time-saving tool that can streamline your mail merge process and ensure that your documents are always up to date. By taking advantage of this feature, you can say goodbye to the hassle of manually refreshing fields and focus on more important tasks.
So why wait? Start using the Auto Refresh Includepicture Field feature today and experience the benefits of a more efficient and automated mail merge process in Word 2007.
