Are You Missing Out on Microsoft Word’s Greatest Hidden Feature?

Many experts feel that Microsoft Word’s most exciting recent feature is its ability to Mail Merge different pictures into your documents. Using the variable information feature, you can add customized images to your documents:

• Form letters with different (variable) logos, signatures and photos
• Personalized brochures and takeaways
• Business cards with photos
• Sell sheets and line sheets
• Catalogs and personnel directories with photos
• Labels with personalized photos and graphics
• Menus of the day with pictures
• Photo-ID badges
• Picture albums
• Let your imagination run wild…

Get a Warm Response

Top sales pros put their photos on their business cards and brochures. They’ll tell you that the personal touch builds trust and credibility. Likewise, photos are the single most effective tool that you can use when you’re trying to get somebody’s attention, explain something, or get somebody to do or buy something.

Why Don’t More People Use Customized Pictures?

Large marketers have been using customized pictures in high-end campaigns for many years, using PrintShop Mail™ or other high-end variable-information programs… that cost thousands of dollars! There an entire sub-industry that has emerged to make and sell those expensive programs. And now Microsoft has added a very powerful variable-image feature into Word – but it’s well-hidden and Microsoft forgot to make it easy to use!

How to Set Up Variable Images in Word?

We’re Microsoft Office experts, so we hear that question all the time. Microsoft’s recommended answer is for hard-core techies (and masochists) only: do complex manual coding in Word’s hidden “merge fields.” That’s over the heads of 99.9% of users. Even PhD researchers at Oxford University asked us for help with Microsoft’s method!

We Have a Clever Little Shortcut

We’ve created a little add-in to Word that automates all of the complex parts of setting up image merges. We call it OnMerge Images™. With it, variable images are just a button-press away whenever you need them. OnMerge Images lets you link your document to images on your computer or network, and automatically changes the link on each page depending on the data you merge into that page.

For example, a batch mailing could automatically link letters from John to John’s photo and scanned signature; letters from Mary, Alex and Jo would automatically link to their own photos and signatures. This is only a simple example – your imagination is the only limit.

Merging Images is Truly Easy

OnMerge Images drops into Microsoft Word without disrupting normal operation in any way. Its entire operation is self-contained in a single pop-up dialog box, so you can expect only a 10 – 15 minute learning curve. It’s all explained in our easy-to-follow online video tutorial which takes you through operation step by step.

Bonus Power Features

Even if you’re the world’s most sophisticated Word user, OnMerge Images lets you do things with variable images that Word alone just can’t do. You’ll discover that these are essential features for doing serious medium- or large-scale jobs. OnMerge Images can automatically resize different-sized original images to the correct final size, automatically substitute an alternate image if any linked image is unavailable, skip pages with unavailable linked images, or close out blank space reserved for an unavailable linked image.

The Price is Right

You can get OnMerge Images today for 79.99 US$. We are aware of no similar product that lets Microsoft Word merge images so powerfully and easily, so we can only compare that price with a “low priced” variable-image software package. For example, the very popular PrintShop Mail starts at $1,395 for an entry-level system. That’s $1,395 vs. $79.99– over 1,650% more!

Technical Summary (For Tech Wizards Only)

OnMerge Images add-in for Microsoft Word links image files into Word documents. The add-in does not disturb normal Word operation. Linked image files can be on your computer’s hard disk or local network, and are linked into the document by name. Each file’s name can contain one or more mail merge fields from a data source, meaning that each merged page or record can be linked to a different image (depending on the data source).

File linking is accomplished using a single user-friendly popup dialog which lets you split each image file’s name and folder into 6 parts. Each part of the name can be entered directly, or can be taken from selected data source fields. All parts are automatically looked up from the data source and combined into a single image file name when merging each page or record. While you’re setting up a file links, OnMerge Images’ popup dialog allows you to automatically preview the image that any page or record will be linked to.

OnMerge Images automatically resizes images after merging (enlarge or shrink), solving Word’s well-known problem with incorrectly-sized images after merging. Automatic resizing is usually done to fit inside a given box without distorting the aspect ratio, but can be optionally done to an exact size.

Data-source lookups for some pages or records may result in file names that link to image files that don’t exist. OnMerge Images lets you choose what to do if or when that happens, just like high-end variable-data software: use a default “stand-in” image; leave the space blank; make the image invisible by making it blank and very tiny; skip the page or data-source record entirely; or pop up an error message during the merge.

Works only with: Word 2002, XP, 2003 and 2007 on Microsoft Windows.

Image files supported: JPEG (jpg, jpeg, jpe, jfif), gif, png, TIFF (tif, tiff), emf, wmf, bmp, Mac PICT (pic, pict)
