This extension helps you to semi automatically insert pictures listed in a database to your document. It offers a workaround to the OOo issue 18651 which limits the use of MailMerge, so it cannot handle pictures.
It was designed for the following procedure:
1. create a file using MailMerge, but use only the name (path) of the pictures you want to insert. To identify these 'to be inserted' images use special delimiters (eg. {{picturename}})
2. convert these inserted filenames with one button click to the actual image itself
You can personalize several parameters through the options dialog.
