Insert A File Into A File (Word 2003)

Posted by on Jun 15, 2006 | 9 Comments

Word provides you with the ability to insert a file into your open document. For example, if you currently have a Word document open, you can insert a second Word document into it. One of the handy things about this is that it can save you a lot of typing (and a lot of time).

Inserting another file into your open document is a simple process. The steps are outlined for you below.

  1. Open your Word document.

  2. Place the cursor in the open document where you want to insert the second one.
  3. From the Insert menu, click Insert File. If you are using Word 2002, click File from the Insert menu.
  4. Locate the file that you want to insert into your document and click the Insert button.

Word will automatically insert the file into your open document.

    I just tried this, but instead of inserting the document into the file, it pasted the text from the document into the first one..

    Thats not how I want it to do it..

    Colin:

    If you don’t want the text of the whole document, click the button that says something like “display icon” instead.

    Can I insert all of the text of the inserted document, plus the inserted document’s headers and footers too, so that the inserted document looks just like it would if it were a standalone document?

    My main document, Guidelines.doc, presents format and content guidelines for writing a standard report. I’d like to take the report template document, Report.doc, and insert/embed/add it to a text box (or frame?) on a page in Guidelines.doc so that Report.doc looks the way it would if it were a printed document, except reduced in size so that all of Report.doc is contained inside the box, including Report.doc’s original headers and footers, and then the whole Report.doc box is framed by the headers and footers of Guidelines.doc.

    Is that doable?

    Hi,
    I was trying to insert a powerpoint 2007 file into word 2003. It was inserting something but when i wanted to edit it it showed some compatability error. I have installed 2007 compatibility pack for office 2003.

    Is there any way of doing it??

    I inserted a Word file then saved and done more work to the document. The file appears as text. I have then realised that the file is wrong an dI want to remove but I cannot select it anymore. Any suggestion?
