"The picture can't be displayed" Word on Mac
I work with Office 365 on my Mac, OS 13.1
I need to embed images from my drive in a word document (for a mail merge project) but already a direct INCLUDEPICTURE field does not work. The result is always "The picture can't be displayed". I have tried png and jpg. Images which are directly pasted into the document don't cause any problem. I have also ruled out (a) Word Wrapping Style (b) Picture Placeholder Enabling. The field code I am using is like { INCLUDEPICTURE "/Users/me/testfolder/image_1a.jpg" } I also realize that there is the option to "Insert Picture from File" and then select the option "Link to File". But this seems to produce some kind of different result. There appears to be no field code from that but at least it works (image is displayed). However, for me this is not (yet?) helpful because I need, in a next step, replace the file name with a merge field and I would not know how to do that. Could this be done for images inserted with Insert Picture from File (plus "Link to File") by modifying the filename information afterwards? (this would be a workaround for the problem above) What can I do? |

I'm not on a Mac so I don't have a definitive answer for you but from my experience it doesn't appear that you have specified the path correctly
/Users is not the root folder - it is already a few folders down the likely path. You should try the FULL path eg HardDriveName/something/Users/me/testfolder/image_1a.jpg On Windows machines, some links require double slashes so that may be something else you could try Users//me//testfolder//image_1a.jpg
