How to insert multiple page word document into word 2007?
I am trying to insert an exisitng several page word document into a new word
document. Following the standard steps of insert object, select file, as linked document... It inserts it in a table format only showing the first apge of text of the document I want to insert. Is there a way round this? |

How to insert multiple page word document into word 2007?
You'd insert it as a linked document only if you need it to
automatically update when you change the inserted document. Otherwise, I've never had a problem inserting a document of any length as "text file."

How to insert multiple page word document into word 2007?
An inserted object cannot span multiple pages in Word. Instead, you can use
copy and paste. If you click Home tab | Paste | Paste Special you can choose to paste as a link (inserts a LINK field). Alternatively, use Insert tab | Object | Text from File. Locate and select the file you want to insert. If you want to link the contents of the inserted file, click the arrow next to the Insert button, and then click Insert as Link. Word inserts an INCLUDETEXT field, which you can update with F9. For more on INCLUDETEXT fields, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/tblsfldsfm...ldscontent.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "MarkOD" wrote in message ...

How to insert multiple page word document into word 2007?
If you insert via the Insert File dialog box, or by inserting an INCLUDETEXT
field manually, there should be no problem. On the other hand, if you insert an object, via the Object dialog box, it won't span pages; instead, it will behave as a wrapped object or as a (large) text character, depending on the placement option chosen. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "grammatim" wrote in message ...

How to insert multiple page word document into word 2007?
I was _looking_ for what they'd done with "Insert File" in 2007, and
all I could find was Insert Object Text from File (which produced indistinguishable results). Has Insert File indeed been hidden somewhere else?

I think what you found *is* Insert | File. Stefan's reply about objects is
correct when they're actually objects, but "text from file" isn't really an object in the sense of an OLE object. I find this new dialog structure especially confusing for that reason if for no other. -- Suzanne S.
