Linking Documents and Object

[Val]

Hello,

Back in my WordPerfect days (6.0 to be exact, so a long time ago) we used to
create documents and tie them all together in a master document. Essentially,
I created Document 1, and Document 2 which were separate files. I then
created Document A (master document) and linked Document 1 and Document 2 to
it. Whenever I would change anything in Document 1 or Document 2 and
reprinted Document A, all changes would be reflected because everything was
linked together.

I'm looking to do the same thing with Word 2007 only I can't figure out how
to do this. I also want the same thing to happen with Visio drawings. If I
link a visio drawing to Document A and change the visio drawing then I want
Document A to automatically reflect the changes.

Hopefully this makes sense. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks a million.

You can use INCLUDETEXT fields to link documents together in a "master"
document. Also, you can edit linked data and save it back to the original
file by pressing Ctrl+Shift+F7. For more, see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/tblsfldsfms/includetextfieldscontent.htm (but note
that the article may not be updated for Word 2007).

Awesome.

I think that will work. Thanks for the quick response Stefan. Have a great
day.
