Linking sections of two documents

[Guest]

I am trying to see if there is any way to connect two sepertate documents, so
that I can get only some information from one of them to a totally seperate
document. I have a word doc that is accessed and changed by people daily, and
would like to be able to link certain sections of information from that, to a
seperate word doc that I need. Is there any way that this can be done?

Hi Dee,

You can do this using INCLUDETEXT fields that point to particular bookmarked passages in the source documents. See Word's Help file
for details. The main issue you'll have with this is you users deleting the bookmarks, or adding relevant material outside them
and/or irrelevant material within them.

....and in addition, you may find the information in this article about the
INCLUDETEXT field helpful:
