Importing and Linking Word Documents |

This page covers the difference between Importing and Linking and how to import or link. Some of the information will be common to importing and linking to FrameMaker documents but I do not use FrameMaker and no specific information is provided for that application.
See below for links to specific instructions and for troubleshooting information when things have not gone as expected.
When you import a Word document it is imported as one or many topics depending on how you configure the import. Once the document has been imported there is no relationship with the Word document and any changes to it will not be reflected in your topic(s).
When you link, a relationship is retained and updates to the document can be reflected in your topic(s).
