How to use includetext with excel or access?

[Guest]

Hi
I want to insert standard codes into a local document from a server based
coded paragraphs list.

i.e. codes will be stored as:
Code1 This is the text that realtes to code 1 - Could be 1 line or 20
Paragraphs
Code2 This is the text that realtes to code 2
Code3 This is the text that realtes to code 3

Preferebaly I would like to store the data in excel or access formats for
linking in with other applications. Within Word I would like to have a
toolbar icon the says what code? and for it to then ask for the code and
enter paragraph in the document

I belive one option would be to link using includetext but the following
fails to work.

I have tried {INCLUDETEXT "DRIVE:\\PATH\\NAME.XLS " {ASK CODE "WHAT CODE?" }
} but keep getting errors

Have also tried doing via bookmarks in a word document (as last resort)
{INCLUDETEXT "DRIVE:\\PATH\\NAME.doc " {ASK CODE "WHAT CODE?" } }
but inserts whole of name.doc rather than the bookmark element only

Appricate your assistance
