Here here Steve.  Do you all remember good old Word Perfect for DOS when you 
were expected by the creators of that wonderful old program to know what you 
wanted to do with your data and you could pull one file after another into the 
same open document?  Ah those were the days.  DUXWP was a good old program too. 
 I miss them both like old friends gone away.

Hi everyone,

I'd like to see an option in the File Menu that would allow a file to be 
inserted into an already existing document.  To understand why, consider 
the following scenario:

I am assembling a newsletter consisting of several articles, each of which 
comes to me in a separate file.  Since I want the final result to be a DBT 
file, I start by importing the first article into DBT.  For each subsequent 
article, I have  to open the file, select all of it, copy it to the 
clipboard, close it, go back to my original file, and paste in the contents 
of the clipboard.  While this is certainly doable, the process would be 
much simpler if there was an option that allowed me to insert each new 
article into my original file at the location of the cursor.

Steve
