MS word 2013 Include picture - F9 does not refresh the pictures

5.3k Views Asked by At

I have this problem and have spent days googling for a solution with no success.

I am using the mailing to make several pages where its correspondent user picture is shown. Everything works fine to create it, for example, the code to show the picture is the following:

{INCLUDEPICTURE "c:\\fotos\\{MERGEFIELD fotoname MERGEFORMAT}"}

This is working fine, i just press F9 key and it shows the pic. So far so good.

Then I press on Mailings, Finish & Merge, Edit Individual Documents and i print the rest of the documents with its corresponding data. Everything is fine, but the same picture is shown in all the documents.

So here comes the big problem: i select everything and then i press F9 to update all the pictures shown, but the picture stays the same anyway!!!

I check the source of the other pictures

{INCLUDEPICTURE "c:\\fotos\\id_pict_nn.jpg"}

and it is fine, every picture has its own link, but the pictures are not refreshed after having selected everything and then pressed F9.

It only works if i select every picture and then press F9. But this is not the point, since they're more than 2000 documents and i don't have time to achieve this one by one.

Why isn't refreshing F9 not working even if i press Ctrl+E to select everything and the F9 to make every picture be shown accordingly???

Please help!!!! How can i achieve this?

F9 only works on certain things, and I believe if it finds something it dosen't like it breaks everything. I'm afraid you'll have to use a different method than F9.

Also, don't you mean Ctrl+A to select everything?
