Bryan:
Thanks for the reply. Your suggested method works but only first page of
the word document is linked. If the WORD document is long, it works for
only very small portion of the document.
For small document (i.e. one page) even MTEXT can import the formatted file.
I am trying to see if I can import document that is about 20 page long.
Thanks.
