Re: Insert multiple files (.txt, .pdf, etc.) into MS Word 2010 - all at the same time

Glad I could help.

Because you're pasting the files (v. a hyperlink to the files) it should
embed them in the document. That's been my experience.

You can confirm by opening the doc & then an embedded file on another
machine. You can also try just looking at the file size but Word does
sometimes compress document contents so the doc size may be smaller than
the total of the embedded files.

The above behaviors may depend on your version of Word. Ribbon interface
aside, Word gets smarter with every release.

Open Explorer.
Select all files to insert. Press Control-C (or right-click/Copy).
Open target document.
Position to where you want the inserted files.
Select Paste - Paste Special.
If you want the file contents inserted, click OK.
If you want the files embedded as icons, click "Display as icon" then OK.

Wow, it was so simple! I did not have any options when pasting, only the
command to PASTE, but it did the trick. It pasted the text files as icons,
as I wanted. Thank you.

The only concern I have is that I do not know for certain if what was
built was a "link" pointing to the text file rather than embedding the
object in the document.
