It surprised me, too, when I tried it before posting. What I've since
learned is that the one-page display is a new trick provided by Adobe
Reader 7.0. Also, clicking that display opens the complete PDF
document in a separate Reader window.

I don't have full Acrobat -- never have -- so I don't know whether it
provides the same service. This is the free Reader.

Hmmm. *all* PDF files inserted as objects here are displayed as icons,
whether or not the icon box is checked. Am I missing something?

Use the menu item Insert Object. Click the From File tab. Browse to
the PDF file and select it.

If the PDF file is only one page or less, you can insert it as is. If
it's more than one page, only the first page will appear -- that's a
limitation of the way Word handles "objects". In that case, check the
box for "Display as icon"; it will insert a PDF icon that you can
double-click to open the PDF in Acrobat Reader.
