    Pictire fields should be inserted into table cells as inline objects. If a pictire field is placed into graphic table cell, then the script declines to work.

      Thank you! Was just struggling with that one!!
      Now it works like a charm, and it’s a godsend ;o)

  • Steve Davis says:

    could someone share a link for the script, please?!

  • Nina LaMar says:

    Hi, the link for the script is not working for me. Is there a different place to get this script from?
