Agreed, but can you set it up to make the paragraph as invisible 
depending on whether or not you have a varchar string ? I imagine so, 
but that is the question that the original poster was asking. Your macro 
would need to take care of that piece of trickery in order to mark the 
paragraph/section where the image is to be inserted as hidden when equal 
to NULL.
