link to another document

[taso81]

In Microsoft Word if I insert a link to another document, lets say a pdf, is
it possible when I print the word document that the pdf document prints out
as well.

Yes. If the pdf displays within the Word document, it will print out when
the document is printed. I've verified that this works in Word 2007 in
Vista. I'm not sure about earlier versions of Word in other versions of
Windows.

I am using Word 2003. When I insert a pdf as an object in my MS Word
document the pdf shows but the quality is bad. But if I can somehow get the
inserted links to print automatically that would be best.

If you insert a PDF as an object it will shrink to the current margins hence
the deterioration. Set the layout property of the object to something other
than in-line with text and change the size to full size before centreing it
on the page. Note that objects cannot span pages so only the first page of a
multi-page PDF would show.
You cannot print linked items that are not displayed in the document. You
would have to print the linked PDF separately.

Thanks for the info!

Basically I got a networked copy machine that I can use as a fax machine
from my pc. Many times I and other users where I work create ms word
documents that we need to fax but they reference enclosures (usually pdfs).
I was trying to figure out a way to fax everything from Microsoft Word.

If you have Acrobat, then you could save your document as PDF and use
Acrobat to combine it with the PDFs then print the resulting pdf to fax
from Acrobat.
