I tested several options - I was able to get the PDF into the Word document, but not without a fair bit of trial and error. (The links below this post confirm that only one page is inserted - most of the information in these links is from Microsoft Word MVPs, people who have much more knowledge about this stuff than I do.)
And is just useless for most people in the business world where multiple page documents are the norm. So she asked me for help.Īnd that’s when I discovered that Word’s ‘Insert Object from file’ function only inserts the first page of the file. She wanted to insert it in her Word document as an Appendix but to date it had beaten her. The resulting document was seven pages long. The spreadsheet was fairly wide, and she had created the PDF using an A3 paper size.
Too bad if your file has multiple pages… as most do.Ĭarol’s problem was with a multi page PDF she had created from Excel (the original was a large text table - nothing fancy). When you insert a file as an object, only ONE page of the file is displayed in Word. Word is kludgy (that’s a technical term!) when it comes to inserting objects from other applications - including from other Office apps.
