Inserting and linking data from one word file to another

[georgiegirl]

i need to find out how to link up to documents. i have the destination file
open and then i copy text from an open file. i then paste special the text in
the destination file. the thing that i can not seem to work out is why does
the text in the destination file does not change when i change the text in an
open file.
i copy 5 lines of text from a document called activities and then paste
special the text onto the destination document. i then change a word in the
document activities it is suppose to change in the destination file as well
but it does not do this.
