Link to a Word drawing

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi all,

I hae a client who wants to produce quite a complex report with 3 different
sets of data. Each page on the report needs to be numbered as page n of n.
I have no problem with most of it, however, I'm completely flummoxed with one
part.

My client survey's sites and does a rudimentary plan (drawing) of the site in
Word (a strange choice, but he won't change it). This drawing is a part of
the final report.

Is there any way I can link the Word document containing the drawing to the
report, so that it prints out as a part of the report, thereby maintaining
the page sequence. Obviously I can insert a blank page where his Word
drawing will be and ask him to cut and paste or whatever is his preferred
option, but that is a little inelegant. I can't output the report to a Word
document because it contains photo's that are linked, so any output to Word
doesn't contain the photo's. I've tried using Bound and Unbound OLEimages,
but can't get it to work. I've run out of hair to pull out, so any help
would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,

Gary Beale
