Hi again,

INCLUDETEXT fields DO link to the source. For them to update automatically
upon opening the target document, you must have the 'update automatic links
at open' option checked under Tools|options|General. Alternatively, you can
select the linked field and press F9 to update it - provided any changes in
the source have been saved.

Cheers
