Append and extract pages from a Word document
Currently all versions of Word only allow for cut/copy and paste from other
documents to add or delete content from a file. You can use Insert Object to insert a file (which I believe, acts as an OLE object) but is still not the same as appending or extracting. If would make document and form creation much, much simplier if the pages in any document were singular in that any page could be dropped wholly from one document to another, as many desktop programs already do, including Adobe PDF. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Word is not a DTP application. "Pages" is something that are created dynamically at run-time with the current body text, taking into account the section(s) properties, installed fonts, and a whole bunch of options (print, compatibility, etc.). I'm only saying that what you're asking is basically calling for a different application alltogether. 0.2cents Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MSFT | \ / | MVP | Scientific Reports X Against HTML | for | with Word? / \ in e-mail & news | Word | http://www.masteringword.eu/ |

Append and extract pages from a Word document
Robert: I agree that WORD is not a DTP, but PUBLISHER also leaves a lot to
be desired. I develop form templates in a form intensive industry that deals with major companies all over the world as well as some big government agencies and used by engineering types. Many companies all over the world use Word as their forms development tool. Being a Word processing program often makes forms development really, really difficult, especially in the area of being able to append and extract. My hope was that Microsoft would take this to heart and look at merging some of the features from DTP. There is a very big market for this type of change.
