Linked Object
I am working on creating operational procedures for a bank. There are
certain sections that are common to multiple procedures. I therefore wanted to take these common things out in a separate document, and then put this separate document as linked object in the procedure document. That way if there are any changes, I need to make it in only one place. The problem I am facing is that ONLY one page of the linked document is shown in the procedure document. I want the entire text of the linked document to be visible in the procedure. Please help. Thanking you in advance. |

Linked Object
Do not use Insert Object to link the files. Instead, use Insert File and
click the down arrow on the Insert button to choose Insert as Link, which creates an INCLUDETEXT field. The result of that field can be many pages. When you create the external document, insert a bookmark to cover each piece of text that you plan to include in other documents. In the Insert File dialog, click the Range button and enter the name of the bookmark to include. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. wrote: I am working on creating operational procedures for a bank.
