Inserting a File

There will probably be times when you want to add a file to your current document. For instance, you may need to append a document file, or you might want to add a text file in the middle of your document. Word makes it very easy to do this by following these steps:

1. Position the insertion point where you want the file inserted.
2. Choose File from the Insert menu. You will see the Insert File dialog box.
3. Use the tools in the dialog box to select the file you want to insert.
4. Click on OK.

In Word 2007 you should follow these steps instead:

1. Position the insertion point where you want the file inserted.
2. Make sure the Insert tab of the ribbon is selected.
3. In the Text group, click the down-arrow to the right of the Object tool.
4. Choose the Text from File option. Word displays the Insert File dialog box.
5. Use the tools in the dialog box to select the file you want to insert.
6. Click on OK.
