Hello and thanx for any advice in advance. I love the insert file menu
option, which enables Word documents to "talk" to each other. Except I think
it's an all-or-nothing proposition. It's the whole document or nothing at
all. Is there any way to import only sections of a document into another
document? Thanx.

What you need to do is define the "pieces" that you want to insert as a
bookmark. Then use the Include Tex field command and specify out the
full path of the file and bookmark. I use a special file just to hold
inserts.

Thanx for the reply. Can you have a quick look at my expression and tell me
where my syntax is wrong? I'm only trying to point to a document on my
desktop (with the bookmark name of test1). Many thanx.

The field should look like this:

{ INCLUDETEXT "C:\Documents and Settings\ErikGregory\Desktop\Test1.doc"
Test1 }

Thank you. I'm still getting an error! result on this end. Now, does it have
something to do with the manner the bookmark was inserted? I merely selected
the text I wanted imported into another file, inserted a bookmark (test1) and
left it at that. Any more tips? Many thanks.

You must select the text, insert a bookmark, then close the file. In the
target document, use Insert | File | Link to File. Type the bookmark name
into the "Range" box.
