Is it possible to perform a "mail merge" with a graphic? My opinion is
that the answer is no.
For example:
I created a Base document with a text field "Name" and an Image field
"Image".
I inserted a few records containing a name and an image.
I can drag any field into the mail merge document, but the result is
always a Text field supporting the
"com.sun.star.text.TextField.Database" service. Without looking at the
code, my guess is that a text field is my only choice (I did not see a
"binary" type field).
The only solution that I see is to write a macro that trolls the
database and manually inserts appropriate data (including a graphic)
into the document. I have not yet decided if I should bother to do this,
but it feels like an interesting exercise.
