[AccessD] Access to Word

...first things first ...there is no reason an image that looks fine in Word 
shouldn't look just as well in Access ...its probably missing a graphics 
filter which can usually be fixed just by setting a reference ...but if not, 
Lebans has some great graphics plug-in code that will do the job.

...the mail merge is as simple as pie ...but don't go there just yet.
