{INCLUDEPICTURE {IF TRUE "C:\Users\Elena\Pictures\{MERGEFIELD Picture}"} \d}
you can still unlink the fields immediately after merging (e.g. via Ctrl-A, Ctrl-Shift-F9).
I have an amended version of this so it has .jpg separately so the spreadsheet only has the file name, the files are named 2,3,4,5 which works fine but also 2.5,3.5 and 4.5 which do not load probably because of it not translating the path correctly, they are all .jpg so 2.5 would be 2.5.jpg which i think is where the problem lies.

can anyone help for me to get this right. much appreciated.
