    This seems like an obvious thing that people would want. You want your graphic files or other information that changes outside of your main document . If those "linked" files ever change, the latest version of the files are always displayed in your main document.

     

    There must be some document type program that allows you to do this.

    Hi,

    Firstly, make sure you have select Update automatic links at open check box.

    Click File > Options > Advanced > Under General > select Update automatic links at open check box

    You can instert Object to accomplish link a file, follow these steps:

    Start Word > Insert tab > Text group > drop done Object > Object...  > Create New tab > Package > OK (This will prompt a dialog box to select file that you want to add.

    Hi,

    thanks but the "link" does not behave like an embedded object.  The idea is that you can't tell any difference between a link and an embedded file when you open the document.

    The Click File > Options > Advanced > Under General > select Update automatic links at open check box was checked but the file , a jpeg file,  was not opened and displayed in word.

    What I did see was a small icon with the name of the jpeg file underneath.

    If you double click on the icon it brought up a separate viewer for the file.
