I am trying to delete an inserted file but there are no instructions listed on how to accomplish this. It depends on how the file was inserted... - If you used the Insert File command and just clicked the Insert button in that dialog, the inserted material is simply text, just as if you had typed it in place. Select the material and press the Delete key. - If you used the same dialog, but clicked the down arrow next to the Insert button and selected Insert As Link, the inserted material is the result of a field. Right-click anywhere in the material and select Toggle Field Codes. In place of the text you'll see something like this: { INCLUDETEXT "C:\\Documents and Settings\\your name\\My Documents\\doc1.doc" } Select the whole thing, including the braces, and press the Delete key. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
