Thanks for that. It indeed works.
However the interesting thing is in the statistics.
The original Sprite file was 256K
The sprite-converted-to PNG file is 43K
The OPro document loaded with the PNG file is: 493K
The OPro document loaded with the sprite file is: 341K
This bears out my original statement that the best way of assembling
document copies in OPro is by loading sprites and, for preference,
loading them by Reference.
The process of loading, though, can take ages but I have yet to
investigate doing this by the mail merge facilities.
