Is this a networked system i.e. you have access to all the document
locations? If so you can use links to the documents on those other systems.
Personally I might adopt a different approach along the lines of

I am attempting to create a simple word document that acts as a "status"
report for a company. Different portions of the document will reflect the
different status for each branch of the company. Rather than call each
branch to get a status report daily, or have them email me and then I
compile
the status, I would like to create objects in my word document that are
"attached" to xml files located in different places. The objects in the
word
doc will then synch up with the xml files to reflect current status. Can
anyone help me get started with this? (or perhaps do you know a better
way
to accomplish this?)
