I think you just aren't setting up the IncludeText quite right. Help on
IncludeText is actually fairly good, and there's some additional preliminary
information on setting them up he

Use "Includetext". It's very easy!
Insert--Field, choose IncludeText and point it to a document on the
server/PC.

Hi, A department I support has many manuals they have created in Word
2003. A
lot of the information is identical in these manuals. They want the
ability
to just make changes in 1 "master manual" document and have it
automatically
update the identical parts in the other manuals (being stored on a network
drive in separate folders). I have heard many bad things about corruption
issues using Word's master document features, so I don't want to use that
if
I don't have to. I have briefly researched using bookmarks and IncludeText
or
Link fields, none of those seem to update the information when I make
changes
or maybe I don't understand how to use them correctly. Please help!!
