Apart from Word and Excel worksheets, you can embed any file into the Word doc.
Procedure as follow: - Click Insert, then object; - Go to the Create from File tab; - Click to Browse button to select the file you want to embed; - Check both the Link to file and Display as icon checkboxes. Read the latter part of this post if you want to know more about the function of these two boxes; - Click OK. One last reminder if you did check the Link to File checkbox: once you have linked to the destination file, do not move the file orelse Word will be unable to locate the file. If you really have to move it, specify the new location of the file by repeating these steps. If you check Link to File, whenever the Word file you are working on is opened, the content of the embedded file will be reloaded again and therefore any changes made to the source of the embedded file will be reflected. If you don't check it, the content of the file will be copied to the file you are working on and changes to the source file will not be reflected. If the Display as icon is checked, the content of the embedded file will be represented by an icon and you can double HTH -- Xero http://www.chezjeff.net My personal web portal "Wellie" wrote: I recently receieved a Word document contains embeded Word document icon and Excel icon of a Word doc and spreadsheet respectively.

The effect you describe is achieved with Insert Object. Use the Create
from File tab to choose the document to insert, and click Display as icon. If you want the embedded document to update when the file changes, rather than just embed a copy within this document, also click Link to file. Depending on what you want to do, you might also want to look at Insert Hyperlink and (for Word documents) Insert File. -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "Wellie" wrote in message ...

Sorry, somehow the last sentence from the last post disappeared.
Anway, I was trying to say that if the Display as icon is checked, the content of the embedded file will be represented by an icon and you can double-click the icon to open the file. If you don't check it, the embedded file will be represented using some text from the embedded file. -- Xero http://www.chezjeff.net My personal web portal "Wellie" wrote: I recently receieved a Word document contains embeded Word document icon and Excel icon of a Word doc and spreadsheet respectively.
