I need a way to insert a document into another so that only the text
appearing in the document will appear without being following by a hard
return. The inserted text is conditional, will be inserted into many
documents and will change with time, hence the need to used Insert Document.
An example is detailed below:

Before

Please contact us at {insert doc phone.doc} should you have any queries.

After

Please contact us at 0123456789
should you have any queries.

Obviously, I need to prevent this hard return from creeping in. And alas I
can't just position the field at the end of a paragraph, much as I'd like
to!!

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Since each document contains at least one paragraph mark there is no way to
insert text from a document without also adding a paragraph mark.

What you can do is store the text to be inserted as an AutoText entry. Then
use an AUTOTEXTLIST field to add it to documents.

When the source AutoText changes, you can update the field to reflect the
changes.
