How do I link a Word document to another Word document with automatic update?

[KristinLeigh]

First off, thank you to anyone who can assist me.



I have been working on a policy where I would like to link multiple documents (from both Word and Excel) into a main document. I am able to link the Excel documents how I want them; however, I am having difficulty formatting the Word documents to appear as I need them.

I am wondering:

A) Can I link a Word document to another Word document as an Object > Object > Create from file > Link to file and have it show more than just the first page?

OR

B) Can I link a Word document to another Word document as an Object > Text from file > Insert as link and have it update automatically (without having to go to each link and right-click to "Update Field")?

I need the entire linked document to show within the destination file, and I need the links to update automatically when I open the document.

Please help!
