I am inserting a number of files into a main document. Each of these files
has tracked changes and comments, which I would like to preserve in the
destination document. When I do a straight insert, all of these disappear.
I have tried to copy and paste the content into the main document; in this
case, the tracked changes actually carry through, but the comments are gone.

Is there any way to do this and preserve both?

There is a way, and it is very unintuitive (so unintuitive that I keep
forgetting how it works); see
