Some assistance please. Put simply how do I embed one WORD document within another? By that I mean the embedded one shows simply as a clicable icon link- all attempts so far have resulted in the full text being written within the second document. I'm sure I've seen it done before but I can't manage it myself. pdfs seem to work OK but not WORD nor EXCEL for that matter.

Asking my paperclip on a motorcycle is useless probably because I'm not asking the question correctly!

Thanks

Peter

Im running Word 2010, but I went to "Insert" an chose "Object". On the dialog I selected the "Create from File" tab and on that I selected the file and also ticked "Display as icon". This seemed to work to insert a spreadsheet into word.

Hope this helps...

The icon is automatically set, based on the filetype of the embedded document.
