Inserting existing document into another open document??
Hi,
I'm creating a word document and would like to insert an existing, single-paged word document, into the new document. The page I want to insert consists of a large diagram, created simply using text boxes and autoshapes etc. It has very narrow margins but fits onto one page. However, when I try to insert this existing page into the new, multi-paged document I'm currently working on, all the page formatting goes to pieces; the margins completely change, the text splits over more than one page and bits of the diagram are missing. All I want to do is to insert a exact copy of my single paged, existing word document, into a new word document. Is there an easy way I can do this? Many thanks - I'd very much appreciate some guidance on this. |

Have you included two "Section Break New Page" one before and one after where
you want this insertion? Because the original has differing margins which are not being copied over in the paste, sections break will allow different margins in one document but the Headers and Footers will require Unlinking from Previous. See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting...onscontent.htm for further details on this.

Forgot to mention when selecting the original content ensure you select as
well the last paragraph mark as this contains certain information like margin settings, etc. And you will also have included all the anchor mark for the text boxes and shapes.

DeanH's instructions about section breaks are relevant for text but for
something such as you describe (a diagram), I think I'd be tempted to just select all the content, Copy, then Paste Special in some picture format. The diagram would not be editable but should be unchanged. It will, however, be reduced to fit the page margins unless you insert section breaks and change the margins as DeanH suggests. -- Suzanne S.
