Default Insert File--Can I Insert Only a Portion of a Document?

The field should look like this:

{ INCLUDETEXT "C:\Documents and Settings\ErikGregory\Desktop\Test1.doc"
Test1 }

Thanx for the reply. Can you have a quick look at my expression and tell

me
where my syntax is wrong? I'm only trying to point to a document on my
desktop (with the bookmark name of test1). Many thanx.

{ [C:\Documents and Settings\ErikGregory\Desktop\Test1.doc] [test1] [\!] }

Hello and thanx for any advice in advance. I love the insert file menu

it's an all-or-nothing proposition. It's the whole document or nothing

at
all. Is there any way to import only sections of a document into

another
document? Thanx.

What you need to do is define the "pieces" that you want to insert as a
bookmark. Then use the Include Tex field command and specify out the
full path of the file and bookmark. I use a special file just to hold
inserts.
