combine several ms office files into a linked master document?

[Anne]

I have a training handout which includes text in Word, graphics in powerpoint
and some example spreadsheets in excel. I would like to combine these files
all into one document for printing and pagination, but would like to have
them as linked files so that I can still edit the originals and see the
changes reflected in the "master". It seems like you could do this in the
past with Microsoft Binder - how do you do it with Office 2002?

Any help is appreciated.

You don't. And there's no such thing as Office 2002.

Best option I can think is to create PDFs of all the documents, then combine
the PDFs into one. You'll need a PDF-creation software. I think
http://www.primopdf.com/ often gets good reviews. Some more are listed here:

Microsoft themselves refer to the product Office XP as Office 2002 all the
time: http://www.google.com/search?q="office+2002"+site:microsoft.com

And it appears if you may be able to use Microsoft Binder from a previous
version of Office (95 to 2000) and, though not supported, will work with
Office XP (2002) and Office 2003.
