I have to insert the content of a word document in another
word doc. I did it through "Insert --> Object" menu -->
Create from file and checking "Link to file" checkbox.

Thats exactly what I need except for one thing. It only
shows the first page of the original document.

Does anybody know who can I change this? I´ve tryid doing
it by inserting the file as a link but that´s not the
behavior that I need...

I will very much appreciate any help, thanks in advance.

In the document to be copied, select the entire document (Ctrl+A) and then
the Copy command. You can paste the whole thing into the destination
document this way.

Instead, use Insert | File. If you like, you can choose the "Insert as Link"
option.

If I use Insert|File I can modify the text in both
documents separately. The link is just "one way", I mean,
if you modify the original works fine, but you are allowed
to modify the other one without any alert and you would
lose your changes if you update the link again...

The only way I found to do it efectively is
using "Insert|Object" menu...

Thanks anyway
