How can I insert a document so that its text appears every time I open?
Hi all
I try to find a way to insert a documents path in a doc (or .dot??) so that everytime I open it, the open document will have the merged text of the pointed documnet. This is a way to automate some offers we make to customers Thanks in advance Stavros |

On the Insert menu, click File. In the Insert File dialog box,
locate the document you want to insert. In the Insert File dialog, click the arrow next to the insert button and choose "Insert as Link". Note that you can insert part of a source document by marking some of its contents with a bookmark. And then, in the Insert File dialog box, you click the Range button and type the name of the bookmark, before proceeding as above to link the document. -- Stefan Blom "ORBIT C.S. - Greece" wrote in message om...

G'Day orbit,
What you need is a Master Document. Create a Template that has the 'fixed' parts of the Offer. Make sure that it has a Title Page, a spare page for the Table of Contents, and an empty page at the end. Create a set of Documents that contain the 'optional' parts of the Offer. Open a New Document in Word, based on your Template; FileSave As... (suitable Name) in the same folder as the other 'Part' Offer documents. Move to where you need an 'optional' Offer clause. ViewOutline; You will see another Toolbar (Outlining). Hover the Mouse over button 4 from the right-hand end ("Insert subdocument") Click and choose the 'optional' Offer part document. It will be inserted, and the cursor will move to the end. Repeat for all other 'optional' Offer part documents in their correct positions. Save!! Now! The Master Offer does not "contain" the 'optional' parts - it is linked to them and reads each one as needed. Through the master document you may: Add/format your table of contents Paginate the entire Document View the entire Document Print the entire Document.... Maintain (edit) each Template/part document separately. Try to set up this system to MINIMISE editing in the 'finished' document. Master Documents have a reputation for becoming corrupt (although I have not encountered this) IF you try to move a lot of text around. See Word Help for "Master Documents". -- Regards, Pat Garard Melbourne, Australia _______________________ "ORBIT C.S. - Greece" wrote in message om...
