Linking Word and Excel files to a Master file

[Asteriod]

I have 10 different word documents, some multipage which i would like to link
to one master word document, so when the individual documents are changed the
master word document is changed and updated.

I have tried to Paste Special - Microsoft Word Document Object and have
tried Insert - Object - Create from File with link to file checked. But
with these two commands only the first page of the individual documents are
linked, not the remaining pages.
How do I do it , Or is there an easier way to accomplish what I want to do.

Hi Asteriod,

Check out the INCLUDETEXT field in Word's help file. Basically, you can use a series of INCLUDETEXT fields in your target document
to pull in the contents of each of the source documents. Plus, if you find you need to edit one of the source documents, you can
make the change from within the target document and update the source document by press Ctrl-Shift-F7 while the cursor is in the
relevant field.

To pull in data from an Excel workbook, you'll need a LINK field instead, but this is more easily set up by selecting the Excel
data, copying it and using Edit|Paste Special with the 'link' option selected. You also get a choice of paste formats.
