INCLUDEPICTURE field in Word 2003

1.Word 2003: put a field in an IncludePicture field

In Word 2003, I'd like my VBA code to create an IncludePicture field that 
contains a field called "DOCPROPERTY  home_directory" as part of the path to 
the external graphic file.
Current line of code: Selection.InlineShapes.AddPicture fileName:= 
"c:\Directory\file_name.jpg", LinkToFile:=True, SaveWithDocument:=False
Current result: { INCLUDEPICTURE "c:\\Directory\file_name.jpg" \* 
MERGEFORMAT \d }
Desired result: { INCLUDEPICTURE "{ DOCPROPERTY 
 home_directory }\file_name.jpg" \* MERGEFORMAT \d }
Plan A that I am considering: allow the VBA code to create the link and do a 
find/replace to change "c:\\Directory\file_name.jpg" to { DOCPROPERTY 
home_directory }.
Plan B: find a DocProperty collection, assign home_directory to a variable, 
and use variable in the AddPicture command.
Should I use Plan A or B? Or another plan? I know how to do A, but it seems 
like the long way of solving the problem. I don't know whether plan B is 
possible, but (if possible) it would require fewer lines of code. Any 
thoughts?

2.Word 2003 INCLUDEPICTURE with Merge field inconsistant

I am using Word 2003 to Merge records from Excel 2003.  I have an excel
column containing a Signature ID.  In the merge document (Doc 1) I have
the following field:-
{INCLUDEPICTURE "C:\\Temp\\Sig_{ MERGERFILED SIG_ID }.bmp" \*
MERGERFORMAT }
Then the Doc 1 is merged to a new doc (Doc 2), all the output selected
and the fields updated with F9.  This works correctly in Word 97 and
2000 but not in Word 2003.
In Word 2003 you get whatever was currently visible in Doc 1 displayed
throughout the Doc 2.  If after opening Doc 1, I do not update the
field (leaving the image placeholder blank), Doc 2 has blank fields
throughout all records.  If I step to record 3 in Doc 1, and update the
Signature field so that the correct signature for the record is
displayed, then the merged Doc 2 has record 3's signature throughout.
Just to confirm, if an identical document is created in Word 97 or
2000, the fields work perfectly.
Any Suggestions?
