IncludeText, i've looked up the Link that I found in another question on how to do that but I'm still confused on what to do, if I click on insert then file, the whole page of the document comes into my table of contents, if i click on insert then field then on IncludeText i get an error message, I have the 2003 version and saw no arrow anywhere so that I could include as a link, like what i need to do. can some one please 'walk' me through it with step by step instructions so i can see wehre i have gone wrong. If you need more info on what i mean, i'll be happy to provide it. Thanks |

IncludeText
From Word's main menu, (in a paragraph that is not formatted as a heading)
try Insert - File, navigate to the desired file and select it. Click the dropdown arrow next to Insert near the bottom of the Insert File dialog box, and choose Insert as Link. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "sonia" wrote in message news Hi I'm new to word and saw that Master Documents corrupts thing and to try IncludeText, i've looked up the Link that I found in another question on how to do that but I'm still confused on what to do, if I click on insert then file, the whole page of the document comes into my table of contents, if i click on insert then field then on IncludeText i get an error message, I have the 2003 version and saw no arrow anywhere so that I could include as a link, like what i need to do. can some one please 'walk' me through it with step by step instructions so i can see wehre i have gone wrong.

IncludeText
Hi
I tried that, but the whole document still comes out on screen. I even tried a new 'clean' page and the same thing happened.

IncludeText
I'm confused. If you don't want the whole document to appear (that's what
IncludeText does), what result do you want to see? And I'm confused about your reference to the table of contents. The ToC is a separate issue, handled (among other ways) by using a ToC field, which creates the ToC using Heading # styled text. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "sonia" wrote in message ...

IncludeText
I was reading everywhere that a master document corrupts files and it's best
not to use it, to try instead include text, which i thought meant the same thing as being able to click on my table of conents and being transfered to where that page is, much like the master document.

IncludeText
Remember to update the table of contents in the target document; then you
should be able to click the hyperlinks to get to the headings in the source documents (inserted by the INCLUDETEXT fields). Note also that in recent versions of Word, you may have to hold the Ctrl key to be able to follow hyperlinks. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "sonia" wrote: I was reading everywhere that a master document corrupts files and it's best not to use it, to try instead include text, which i thought meant the same thing as being able to click on my table of conents and being transfered to where that page is, much like the master document.
