The IncludeText field inserts the text and graphics contained in the document named in the field code. You can insert the entire document or a portion of the document referred to by a bookmark. This field was formerly called the Include field.
Notes: Because field codes can be visible to anyone reading your document, be sure that the information you place in field codes is not information that you want kept private.
-
If the source document is a Word document, you can edit the inserted text resulting from the IncludeText field and save the changes back to the source document. Edit the inserted text, and then press Ctrl+Shift+F7.
-
The IncludeText field doesn't make use of OLE.
Syntax
When you view the IncludeText field code in your document, the syntax looks like this:
{ INCLUDETEXT "FileName" [Bookmark ] [Switches ] }
Note: A field code tells the field what to show. Field results are what is shown in the document after having evaluated the field code. To toggle between viewing the field code and the field code results, press Alt+F9.
