I am trying do a mail merge in Writer from a spreadsheet. I am trying to insert a picture as part of the mail merge (the filename would be specified in the spreadsheet). I can’t seem to figure out how to do this.
What I would imagine is something similar to the following.
-
Define data source (in this case a spreadsheet)
-
Map fields of the data source with field so the spreadsheet. One of the fields in the spreadsheet would be a filename of a picture.
-
Create a frame, or some other container that would hold a picture. Map the field from the spreadsheet to the contents of that picture placeholder.
-
When the mail merge runs, text is inserted into the target document (current observed behavior), but a picture would also be linked to its placeholder in the target document as well.
