A couple of other thoughts:
If you _do not_ want to edit the content after it's inserted, Open the file
in Word (you will have to select All Files or Text Files from the 'Files of
Type:' list at the bottom of the Open dialog box. Save & close the file using
Save As & set the file type to Word Document. Then go to Insert>Object--From
File and insert the new Word version, making sure there is no check in the
box to Display as Icon.
You can also use the above technique to open the file in Word simply as a
Text File without saving it as a Word doc. Once opened, Edit>Select All (or
Ctrl+A) and copy. Then go back to the Word doc and use Edit>Paste Special in
any of the ways listed. MS Office Word Object results as indicated above,
whereas the next two options in the list render the same as the process
described below (one pastes 'as is', the other pastes in the current text
format).
If you _do_ want the inserted content to be an editable part of the doc
you're inserting it into, start by placing your insertion point at the spot
in the Word document where you want the incoming content to go. Then go to
Insert>File and change the File Type as above and double-click the file's
icon to have the content copied in.
No offense to g-n-o, but I just hate to mess with fields if I don't have to.
