Default 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.

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.

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.

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.
