You could bookmark the words in the source document and use an IncludeText field:

{ INCLUDETEXT "filename" "bookmarkname" \* charformat }

If you do not have the "\* charformat" switch you get source formatting.

Thank you very much for your reply. As a start I see that it is quite easy to use the "includetext" function, but I might look into Mail Merge.

Best regards
