Linking Word documents
I am trying to keep repetitive information that is required in several
different places consistent throughout a lengthy Word 2007 document. I locate the information in an independent document. I get the information into the target document in two ways: 1) I use the insert ribbon, Object tab and then select Create from File; or 2) I use a copy command then select Paste Special and choose Paste As Link and select Microsoft Office Word Document Object. In both cases, words simply wants to copy a single page even though I may have selected to insert a multiple page document or have used the paste special command. Is it possible to insert a multiple page file (usually two pages) using either of the commands above or a different procedure? |

Objects cannot span pages in Word. Use instead an IncludeText field.

Thanks Graham. I appreciate your taking time to answer my question. Very
kind of your. I presume you are referring to: Insert; Quick parts; Field; Insert text; then enter filename. That seems to work but does not automatically update changes from the source document. Is there any procedure that would automatically update changes in the source document. Thanks again, Rob "Graham Mayor" wrote: Objects cannot span pages in Word.

You would need to force an update to the field. That's easy to achieve with
a macro - see the sample code at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Rob" wrote in message ...
