Inserting files into Word 2003
Hi, I posted a question yesterday but didn't get a response, so perhaps I
didn't frame the question too well! I have a Word 2003 document. I am trying to bring in other Word 2003 documents as editable parts of my main document. What I am finding is that I lose all my formatting when I use Insert | File. If I use Insert | Object I only get a graphic which can be resized and nothing else. I did look through some other similar questions, and one person had suggested that if I put a "page break continuous" at the beginning and at the end of the source document, that should contain the formatting when it lands in the destination document - regrettably that did not work for me. My source document contains many hours of formatting work and it would be a terrible waste of time to lose that in the destination document. Also, how can I bring in editable Excel documents? When I tried Insert | File I ended up with a whole lot of garbage! This is a really important document that I need to complete quickly (hence my working on it over the weekend), so I would be REALLY grateful if someone could help me soon! Many thanks. Trish :-) |

Inserting files into Word 2003
Hi JoAnn, yes I did - I tried paste and paste special, but still lost my
formatting. Thanks for looking at this for me.

Try insert/merge document
keep original formatting. "Trish" wrote: Hi, I posted a question yesterday but didn't get a response, so perhaps I didn't frame the question too well! I have a Word 2003 document.
