Embedding or Linking an Object
I'm using Microsoft Word 2003. To link the object I'm doing the following:
Insert - Object - Create from File - making sure the create link box is checked off - then I click on Browse and find the file - when done, i click OK and it inserts an icon, not the actual document itself I've tried it also without checking off the link box and still it just inserts an icon. Please help Thanks, Linda "Bob Buckland ?:-)" wrote: Hi L., What steps are you using and what version of Word? ============== "Lgrant5" wrote in message ...

Hi Linda,
As Taz mentioned an HTML file is more of a file of instructions than active content. If you want to incorporate the contents into the Word document then you can use Insert=File When selecting the file on the [Insert|v] button you can use insert or Insert as link. =============== "Lgrant5" wrote in message ...
