Insert File

[Guest]

I want to insert a completed file into a working document.

The existing file is a form file with tables, labels and checkboxes.

When I use the Insert Object, create from file. The file is inserted as a
picture and is hyperlinked to the old file.

Before I could insert pages and as long as I separated them with section
breaks the pages would look as they did in the source file.

Not the case in Word 2007

Click the arrow at the Insert Object command (in the Text group of the
Insert tab), and choose Text from File from the menu. This will show you the
Insert File dialog box from previous versions of Word.

See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/WorkWithSections.htm. In
particular, see the "Preserving section formatting when using Insert + File"
section.
