How do you reference a specific section of another document?

Let's say I have one master document (master.doc) and another document
(doc1.doc).

In the master.doc, I want to refer a specific section from doc1.doc, but not
the whole document. Is there any way to do it?
 
You can bookmark the section in doc1.doc.

but when you bookmark a section, it will start at that bookmark but you
still see the rest of the document...for my purpose, i just want to see a
small section of the document..
 
Perhaps if you tell us more about what you're trying to do...

OK. Let's say I have two big documents - Master.doc and doc1.doc.

Master.doc would refer to certain sections of doc1.doc. For example, there
will be sections 1-10 in doc1.doc. In Master.doc, I would like to show only
section 1 in one paragrah, and then in another paragraph, only shows section
2. Do you know what I mean?
 
Instead of referring to it, why not include it using an IncludeText field?
You can point the field to the bookmarked area of doc1.doc. Use Insert |
File and type the bookmark name as the "range."
