Thanks Macropod.
I am going to list my steps here as I am still getting an error:

1. Open my destination file "all customers"

2. click on insert > Quick parts > Field > category link and references > IncludeText > Field Codes > then I enter

INCLUDETEXT "C:\\Users\\Pascual\\Desktop\\Word master file and files\\Sainsburys"Sainsburys


Word master file and files is the folder on my desktop where the source file "Sainsburys" is saved. The last word (Sainsburys) is the name of the bookmark on the source file "Sainsburys" that I want to have in my destination file "all customers".

Then, I click ok and get the above into { } and when I toggle (alt F9), it says Error! Not a valid file name.

Can you please help?

Thanks
Pascual
