Linking Word Documents

Sherry,

Yes, I am. Note the information at the upper-right of this page. It indicates that this site (which includes this tip, obviously) is for much older versions of Word. There is a link at the top of this page, at the top-right of this page, and at the end of the tip that will take you to the site that has tips for the later versions of Word, including the version provided with Microsoft 365.

-Allen

Are you providing tips to the new Office 365 version of Word (and any other Office programs)?

Can you please tell me if the following two links are for the same process:
https://word.tips.net/T001316_Linking_Word_Documents.html
https://wordribbon.tips.net/T012635_Creating_a_Master_Document_Using_Existing_Subdocuments.html

Thanks.

Trying to change all links in a word 2016 document to direct text. The document is being sent to users that do not have access to the spread-sheet that I am using. Got to this pages searching for:
<b>Word 2016 change all +current +"live" paste links to direct</b>
Where is an answer for this question?

guys i need some help......i just wanted to know how to merge 2 or more word documents so that if i change the fonts in one word document it changes in the others too............can you help me............you can reach me at johnwesley.solomon@gmail.com

And if you are using Word 2016 Microsoft changes it again. To insert TEXT from a file (a document)
1.Select Insert Tab (at top of window)
2. in the Text group, click on Object
3. In the drop down list select Text from File
4. In File Explorer select an appropriate file that contains text.

Do Microsoft software engineers stay up late at night thinking of new changes to confuse users who upgrade Word?

sorry that did not answer my question. I need to know if I can insert only specific pages from the linked doc. not the whole doc

original post...
office365 word 2013. I have several large docs A, B, C and a small doc D. I want to insert ONLY CERTAIN PAGES of Docs A,B,C into D so that when I update A,B or C, the changes are reflected in D. I have used hyperlink and that only shows the link, (the URL). I want the actual text to appear. Pasting a link to a complete DOC is no problem. I need to know how do to select certain pages from within A to C to show up as text (not hyperlink) in D?

Every time I create a word document, the computer creates a text document with the same name....how can I stop this from happening?

Second question.
Needed Help, Thanks in advance.

I have one master document in word.

It is to be linked to another document which is a .txt file.

However,

at other times

How do I find/ save as "Master Doc"

Thanks All!

It was not easy to find but... I think this will help.

Word 2010, open a new document and save it with MasterDoc., from Insert tab|Text group|Quick Parts|Fields, then select the field called [Includetext], and put the file name -with its path- that you want to link.
Now you can edit the linked files individually and to update the MasterDoc. by the latest changes, open MasterDoc. then press F9.

Also you can make changes to the linked files in the MasterDoc. and you can press Ctrl+Shif+F7 to updated the linked files.

David,

Can you please elaborate? I don't understand what to do with that code. Thanks.

I only got the first page of linked documents too. I found this worked:

{ INCLUDETEXT "o:7 background provision7.5 backupVerification that Backup is Comprehensive.docx" * MERGEFORMAT }

how can I save a document in 2 seperate ares, and then if I make a change to the document in 1 area, it automatically updates it in the other area?
For example: I create a doc. and save it in file folder A.

I make a copy of that document and file it in folder B.
I go back to folder A and make a change to the document.
How can I make it automatically update the copy that is in Folder B?

I'm using Word 2007 and trying to link a multi page word document into another word document. I only get the first page of the linked document in my new document. how do i get all pages to show?
