Sorry, ignore that. I got it the wrong way round.

Hmm. My first comment might still be acceptable, Your title says one way, but the question text says another.<br />
<br />
A PDF file inside a Word document does at least do away with one of the files.

&gt; Insert tab, Text group, Object dropdown, Create from File tab on the Object dialog; then browse to your pdf file<br />

Graham, when I try this in Word 2016, it inserts an Acrobat icon instead of the actual PDF file, even if &quot;Link to file&quot; and &quot;Display as icon&quot; are un-ticked:<br />

The icon is a link to the file, as double-clicking on it brings up the PDF in Acrobat, which is nice, but is there any way to embed the file in Word (without converting it to Word) so that the PDF is visible in the Word doc and not simply an icon/link? Thanks, Joe

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
