Any way to "size" an INCLUDEPICTURE when it's included?

Hi,


I'm using Mail Merge to include pictures from a directory like so:

{ INCLUDEPICTURE "{ MERGEFIELD thePath }" }

Is there any way I can set the size of the included picture apart from by
scaling it on disk when I write it in the first place? I would gain a lot
of speed by not having to scale the jpegs as I write them. What I would
like to do is something like this:

{ INCLUDEPICTURE " { MERGEFIELD thePath }" \Width=120 \Height=256 }

Is anything like this possible?


Thanks.

I couldn't find a solution to this one, so I'm performing another "pass" of
the mail-merged document, resizing the images in code according to values
stored in a previous pass!
