How to Add Attachments to MS Word
Microsoft Word lets you add attachments to documents as objects. You can link your file to the original document, so any changes you make to the linked file (in its original location) will display in your document as well. Adding an object to Word saves time because you don't have to retype its contents. On the other hand, you may also add a hyperlink to text, images and charts in Word. You'll need to click on the link's text or image to view the linked document.
