Hi ?B?TWFybGFQU1U=?=,

inserting the file brings the text into the new documents but it doesn't
eliminate redundancies--Say the data changes-you still have to edit every
place you inserted the document. Do you have something that will fix this
problem as well??

If you insert the file with a LINK, then all you need to do is change the
text in the file being linked in - it will change in all the documents.
