I need to attach one document (an exhibit) to another document. I first
tried right clicking the exhibit doc in Windows Explorer, dragging it to the
main doc and then press "Copy Here". All it attached to the main doc was the
first page of the exhibit. I then tried the "Insert Object" technique, but
that didn't work either. It inserted only the first page, not the whole doc.
(As a last resort I tried copying and pasting the exhibit doc contents, but,
as I expected, the formatting of the exhibit was all screwed up, so that
didn't work either)

BTW, the exhibt is only 5 pages long and consists enrirely of text (no
graphics, charts or anything else)

I'm at the end of my rope and getting desparate, because need to get this
project finished by Monday or I'm in trouble.

What's wrong? Is there a workaround?

Thanks

What format is the exhibit? Not a Word document, evidently.

If it's a pdf, you could use Acrobat to create a separate file for
each page in it and insert them individually into your Word document.

OLE objects cannot exceed one page in Word. Have you tried inserting the
file (on the Insert tab, click the arrow next to the Object button, choosing
Text from File)?

Note that in order to be 100% sure that no formatting changes occur, you
will have to convert both documents to PDF files and then combine those.
