I have tried the object insert icon and insert text from file icon but the document ends up all over the place and missing some parts.
Is there any way to insert one whole document into another.
Sounds simple enough but it appears not,
Thank you in advance
I don't know what SWMS means.

Inserting one document into another requires use and understanding of Sections in Word. Sections / Headers and Footers in Microsoft Word 2007-2013 Working with Sections (or Why Word appears to behave so illogically when you delete or move a section break or How to preserve section formatting when pasting between documents) by Dave Rado, MVP

I assume that you are using Word 2007 and want to retain the .doc format.

You will have to have display of non-printing formatting characters turned on. Ctrl-Shift-8 on the keyboard.

The command used to be Insert > File.
Now it is Insert Tab > Object > Text from File
