Hi,
>> So autodesk made it possible to import word document
>> but forgets to include the footer and header?
That statement is not really correct, Autodesk made it possible to use OLE-import functionality.
When you start command _INSERTOBJ Autodesk only looks to which OLE handlers are installed, if you choose anyone (like MS-Word in your case) it's up to this handler to work with the data/the file you select, it's out of control of AutoCAD what it gets back from that handler.
If you think it's really AutoCAD then try to start INSERTOBJ and see what you get when you start this on a system that does not have MS-Office installed. You even won't get MS-Word listed.
Other test: try to get the full word document into MS-Excel ... if you get the footer and header then please let me know how you did it 😉
So it's definitely nothing Autodesk can do, please ask in Microsoft forums.
Having that said please think about that statement.
>> Little bit weird and for a program costing a lot of money unacceptable if you ask me
Is it Autodesk or Microsoft ....
