Formatting while using Insert File

[Mo]

Hi all,
In an article http://word.mvps.org/FAQS/Formatting/WorkWithSections.htm it
is described how things work using Insert File. Is there a difference in
functionality between Word2003 compared to Word2000? I want the scenario
that, if I have a blank document and insert a second document, with
different page formatting, into the blank one, the first document should
adopt the formatting of the inserted document. But in my 2003-version the
formatting in the document remains intact after inserting the second
document.

TIA,
Peeter

In Word 2003 this works for me.

In the document to be inserted, add a section break (continuous) at the very
top. Save it.

In the document to be inserted into, add two section breaks. Then insert the
other doc into it like this:

============Section Break (Continuous)================

Insert other doc here

============Section Break (Continuous)================

Then delete the section breaks. To do this in code takes some fooling with.
