I'm not sure why you want to insert an icon and not the text (which is what
insert file does), but would inserting a hyperlink to the file(s) not be more
appropriate?

Using XP/Office 03, I'm attempting to insert multiple files, .doc or
otherwise, into an existing .doc . Instead of inserting an icon for the
file, Word inserts all the text. One workaround I have found is to drag and
drop the file, select the textbox, right click and choose 'Document
ObjectConvert...Convert toWord Document, select 'display as an icon'
button. This displays the icon but not with the appropriate filename. This
method does not seem to work in tables or with other file types such as .pdf,
.xls etc.

Can I change the filename displayed for the Word icon and is there
another/better and less complicated way of inserting files into Word.

Thanks
