Newbie to Word Please help
I created 15 word documents and I want to print each one without selecting
each one. I tried to insert the other documents into a master document using insert object and create from file and select link to file. The problem with that is that I only get the first page inserted in the master document. I would like to have all the seperate documents so I can manage them easier. I want to be able to update the document in a smaller document which will reflect the changes in the master. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions I know how to insert I need to know why it is not inserting the link entirely. Many Thanks Tom |

Master documents don't work that way, and you're best to avoid them anyway.
Try the INCLUDETEXT field, Tom. ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Tom Grassi" wrote in message ... I created 15 word documents and I want to print each one without selecting each one.

Tom, there is a great article on using IncludeText andits serious problems.
As long as you don't mind full path names, I don't think that you will have a problem. The article is at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...ldscontent.htm . The article title is "How to Use IncludeText Fields" in case you have to search for it. George "Anne Troy" wrote: Master documents don't work that way, and you're best to avoid them anyway.

Better to use the link that gives access to the rest of the site as well,
since there's a lot of information at that site. http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...textfields.htm George, the link you gave doesn't load the frames with the links for Search, etc, but only the content of that one article. I wouldn't say IncludeText has *serious* problems. I imagine most people will not run into the caveats included in that article.

Well I tried the includetext and the folder that I had these documents was
too long a name so I had to move it to the root of my c drive and then they worked Thanks Does anyone know if I can add adobe pdf file to this document so I can print it also?

On Thu, 8 Sep 2005 13:04:16 -0400 in microsoft.public.word.newusers,
Tom Grassi favored us with... I created 15 word documents and I want to print each one without selecting each one. You should be able to select them all in Explorer (not Word), right click, and pick Print. Try it first with two of the shorter ones. :-) -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com/ "And if you're afraid of butter, which many people are nowa- days, (long pause) you just put in cream." --Julia Child |

Thanks, Tom. I'm surprised, I wouldn't expect 103 characters to be a
problem. Re a PDF file, I think you would have to insert each page separately as an object or picture. But perhaps Stan's tip makes it easy enough to keep two files?
