Without seeing what you're working with and what you're trying to replicate, it's impossible to advise.

Can you attach a file & sample document to a post with some representative data (delete anything sensitive)? You do this via the paperclip symbol on the 'Go Advanced' tab.

Hello, and thanks for the response.
Here are the two files that I am trying to combine.
The invoice template has an open textbox (alt f9 to remove view).
I move the insertion point to the top left of the textbox, then use the Insert, object, text from file, insert as link.
As you can see there are a lot of extra spaces that I would use the backspace character to print the file, but now I print to a file (report.txt) I can no longer use the ^h to do this.
I know I could delete these spaces manually, but it would be a time consuming effort to do this on every invoice.
I was hoping that as the report.txt file is inserted as a “link”, the information would automatically change when I updated the .txt file, so all I would have to do on each invoice would be pdf it and email it.
Hope this makes some sort of sense.
