InsertObjectis correct. However you need to click the tab to the back -
Create from File. And place a checkmark in Link to file.

To update your links. Select the Office button, Prepare, Edit Links to
Files. Or you can just click on each of your fields and press F9 to update
them.

I'd like to have 18 main documents (all different authors) that I can merge
into one parent document. Whenever one of the main docs is updated I want
the
content updated automatically in the parent document (when opened). I've
tried the "InsertObject text file" function but it doesn't "connect"
the
two docs so that changes made to main doc1 update in the parent. Any
suggestions? It's like I want the old "paste-link" function from Excel..- Hide quoted text -

- Show quoted text -

Has anyone tried to do this while the files are stored on a MOSS 2007
site? I can browse to the file and select the Word doc I want to
insert/link to, but I get an error saying "File not found". My intent
is that all these chapters and the roll up doc are stored in the same
library.. hmmm.
