You can embed a Word document into a file, making it blend in with the rest of your document. Embedding the document places the entire file into the new Word document. Unless you link to the original file, changes that are made to the source file will not appear in the new document. You can embed a Word document so you won't have to switch from one document to another or so you can combine the two files.
