Linking files (Word)
When I insert a linked object (another word document) only the 1st page of
the linked document is included. I have checked option setting is the linking and linked word files but nothing appears to control that. |

The whole file is being linked to, but only the first page is being
_displayed_ because Linked objects are like pictures & other graphics... They cannot extend beyond the limits of the page into which they are inserted. If you double-click the object the file will open in a Word window & all will be accessible. If you want the entire content of the 'Source" file to be contained (and display) in the 'Client' file, you don't want a linked or embedded object. Instead, use InsertFile to copy the Source content in on a page-for-page basis. If this isn't satisfactory, please give a clearer detailed indication of what you are hoping to accomplish. Perhaps there are other alternatives to consider.

Thank you While it doesn't quite get me to where I want, it does answere the
puzzle of missing pages (which aren't missing after all.) My objective is to try to have a document that is like a book, linking chapters which are other documents. And doing my editing in the individual chapters but having updates reflected in the book whene I print it. I thought the linl or imbed was the way to go, but it looks like once I deit a chapter and just need to delete the onld chapter and re-insert the new one in the book.

First of all you would probably be better having the 'book' as a single
document, however to attain what you want Insert file and in the bottom right corner of the file dialog Insert as Link. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org BRPtacek wrote: Thank you While it doesn't quite get me to where I want, it does answere the puzzle of missing pages (which aren't missing after all.)
