Steps Taken:
1. Open New Document 2. Insert -File - Select Source Document - Insert as Link 3. Save Document as "Master" 4. Open New Master Document -Make Changes - Press F9 -Changes Disappear 5. Nor are they saved to document What I am trying to accomplish is inserting several documents into one master as includetext fields. Then all I have to do is open the one master document, make changes as necessary and save changes to the source documents. Thanks, Randy |

With your cursor anywhere inside the INCLUDETEXT field, you have to do CTRL-SHIFT-F7 to save the changes in the INCLUDETEXT field. By the way, this information is available in the online help for the INCLUDETEXT field (Help Type "INCLUDETEXT" and hit Enter Read the second topic that comes up in the list. I do not know why it does not come up as first, but second ain't bad! At least, with my version of 2003, it is the second topic...) |
