Sorry, I'm not explaining myself too well! This is what I mean:

1) Insert Object
2) On the Object dialog, select the "Create from File" tab
3) Check "Display as Icon" box, then Browse to the file, and OK

The main document would be a top-level summary document, containing the more
detailed design documents (inserted as above).

Do you think this is a completely mad thing to do? It's not my idea, I'm
just the technical writer! ;-)

Thanks again,

Callanish

Can anyone tell me if there is any limit to the number of files that can be
embedded within a Word document? The files in question are other Word
documents - embedded as icons, not full text. I've heard that the maximum
filesize for a Word document is 32Mb - does anyone know if this is still true
for Word 2003?

Interesting: What exactly do you mean with "insert as icons", anyway? A
Hyperlink to a different file?
