Hi

I am creating a mail merge with the wizar.
I create a new write file, with some text and images.
I send emails to many email addreses, but the images appears as empty in the
emails.

Can somebody help me with this issue?

Thank you

You have probably included the images only as links. In this way, the images are not embedded in the document itself, but are merely retrieved from their source files when you display the document on your system. When you send such a document to others, the image files will not be included and the images cannot be displayed at the far end.

To avoid this:

o When you use Insert | Picture > | From File... to insert the image, in the "Insert picture" dialogue, ensure that the Link box at the bottom of the dialogue is *not* ticked.

o To correct your existing document, go to Edit | Links..., select each image in turn, and click Break Link.

With the images embedded instead of linked, your document will be larger but will carry the images to your correspondents.

I trust this helps.

Hi Brian

I already have the images embedded. I didn´t know how to see it, but with
your help I see that are not linked.
Anyway, I tryed again but doesn´t work.

More ideas?

Thank you.

Well, it's difficult to guess what else might be happening.

o Are your correspondents using LibreOffice (or OpenOffice) to view your documents? If so, in order to see the images they will need to have ticked the setting at Tools | Options... | LibreOffice Writer | View | Display | Graphics and objects.

o Are you distributing the documents in LibreOffice's native .odt format or in some other format? What application(s) are your correspondents using to view them?

o If your correspondents do not need to edit your documents further, have you considered exporting as PDF (File | Export as PDF...) and distributing those documents instead?

Yes, but what I need is send the emails not as attached files.Thank you.

Aha - I had no idea from your previous messages that this was what you are doing!
