Referencing the contents of a file.....

[Joe]

Good day,

I need help! I want the ability to reference and display the contents of a
word doc within another, with the ability to change the referenced file and
any subsequent opening of the original file will display the changed text in
the referenced file. Clear as mud!!

I have a two or three line blurb that needs to be added to the end of a word
document. This blurb changes often and I need a way to simply reference this
blurb so when the document is opened, the contents of the blurb is "sucked"
into the document automatically. When the blurb is changed, the next user
opening the document will get the new blurb at the insertion point!

Any Help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Hi Joe,

The INCLUDETEXT field does precisely this. Look up the details of the field
in Word's Help.
