{INCLUDETEXT} does not work with the relative path created with {filename} in word. {INCLUDEPICUTRE} works...
I am using the method proposed by @macropod to use relative path to link the external text in word.
The post of macropod is this one:
https://forums.windowssecrets.com/showthread.php/154379-Word-Fields-and-Relative-Paths-to-External-Files
The code:
{INCLUDETEXT "{filename*Lower*MERGEFORMAT}\..\PINFO\a.txt"* MERGEFORMAT}
Gave me an error message:
Error! Not a valid filename.
However, the code:
{INCLUDEPICTURE "{filename*Lower*MERGEFORMAT}\..\PINFO\a.png"* MERGEFORMAT}
worked perfectly in my word document.
Does anyone have some idea why this happened? I am using Word 2016.

Not sure why the "\" disappears, the code should be {INCLUDETEXT "{filename*Lower*MERGEFORMAT}\\..\\PINFO\\a.txt"* MERGEFORMAT}
