I'm Mail Merging a staff directory, and I'm using {INCLUDEPICTURE} to bring in .jpg files from a local folder.

The merge works just fine, except that the images vary in their height/width dimensions. I need to specify the size/scaling of the images in the Word doc (I don't have permission to muck about changing the original image files).

all I've got so far is
{INCLUDEPICTURE "[path to pictures]{MERGEFIELD PersonID}.jpg"}

[COLOR=cc3300]is there any way to also specify an image size or scaling % in the INCLUDEPICTURE tag?[/color]

(I haven't been able to find a complete explanation of coding for word's mail merge ANYWHERE. Online, Word Help, etc. ... nothing but a smattering. I'd like to know what's possible, at least. aaarghh, why must things be so proprietarily obtuse?!)
