Image Upload Error

I tried reducing the image size and it now works without loading every image into the media library. However, now I am trying to follow your instructions to extract the information into a Word printed directory, and I cannot get the photos to come into Word. The frame contains the instruction correctly, I believe, referencing the website URL with the individual path to the individual photo. An example is: {INCLUDEPICTURE “{MERGEFIELD Photo_URL}” \x \y * MERGEFORMAT} which translates into { INCLUDEPICTURE “http://murphyfirstumc.org/wp-content/uploads/connections-images/sue-bell/IMG_8283sm.jpg” \x \y * MERGEFORMAT } when I view the data view in Word. All of the rest of the information from the CSV file comes through, but nothing I’ve tried results in the photos populating. What have I done wrong?

I have given up on this procedure and your plug in instructions for printing a directory and will format something on my own. My version of Word is 2007, but it doesn’t matter what version I use, Word just doesn’t want to work with photo links. I can’t get all the data I need out of your export anyway since I have to pull individual exports for additional dates, phone numbers and email addresses and then try to figure out how to consolidate all of this. Family members don’t match up to the family record, so I can’t get the kids listed under the parents’ names…all of this requires individual edits of the final Word document, regardless, so I may as well construct my own extract and templates.
