Bill Clinton once said that it depends on what you mean by "is!" In this case it probably depends on what you mean by embed.

There are a number of ways to embed information in Word. Most involve fields. If a field is updated, Word sees that as a change, even though that updating was exactly what was supposed to happen.



I am assuming that the file you are embeding is one with a .txt extension.

Hey Charles, thanks for your response. To be clear I am not using fields. I am embedding using the Insert Object and then choosing Create from File with the Display as icon option checked.
