The instructions listed in my text and on-line help only list directions on
how to insert a file in an open document. I am trying to delete an inserted
file but there are no instructions listed on how to accomplish this.
It depends on how the file was inserted...
- If you used the Insert > File command and just clicked the Insert
button in that dialog, the inserted material is simply text, just as
if you had typed it in place. Select the material and press the Delete
key.
- If you used the same dialog, but clicked the down arrow next to the
Insert button and selected Insert As Link, the inserted material is
the result of a field. Right-click anywhere in the material and select
Toggle Field Codes. In place of the text you'll see something like
this:
{ INCLUDETEXT "C:\\Documents and Settings\\<your name>\\My
Documents\\doc1.doc" }
Select the whole thing, including the braces, and press the Delete
key.
