Thanks for the kind words, everyone - though I have to
give credit to Richard Gaskin for drawing my attention
to the 'merge' function years ago. Having used it for
putting together SQL queries, HTML pages and RTF
documents, I find it one of the gems in the language.

With regards to images in RTF files, I must confess
that I have so far only used images that were part of
the template, brought into Word by copy&paste or
import.
A quick look at the RTF specifications reveals that
you can, in fact, embed PNG or JPEG images (and
several other formats but these two are especially
relevant for Rev developers).
But I haven't tried to export such a thing manually, I
have to admit.
