Default What about linking a word file?

Doing that works for a picture, but...

I'm trying to do the same LINK thing with a word document, and having the
same problem. I can't just include text, because I need the formatting from
the source document.

Any ideas?

Not, as far as I know, in recent versions of Word

It sounds as if you have to use a LINK, but this problem does not affect
INCLUDEPICTURE fields if you are able to use those instead.

Using a merge field as the source in a LINK field seems to work once. After
that, the source of the LINK field is permanently populated with the path of
the image that was selected when that LINK was updated. Is there a way to
change this behavior? A field switch that I'm missing?

Thanks!
