Text2Picture

This software is a modified version of Text2Pic version 0.1.9 Copyright 2009 Rigpa IT modified by Robert Pinchbeck on 3/30/2013.

This OpenOffice/LibreOffice extension inserts pictures into a document from a database using the Mail Merge feature. It offers a workaround to Issue #18651 which limits the use of the Mail Merge feature.

Here is how it works:
1. Create a database which contains a table with a column that specifies a picture filename for each record.
2. Create a Mail Merge document which contains the picture field from the database.
3. Surround the picture field with placeholder delimiters (and optional resize parameters).
4. Perform a Mail Merge and save the merged document.
5. Open the merged document and click on the Text2Picture Toolbar button (or select Tools | Add-Ons | Text2Picture).
