Documents inside Appointments
 

I would like a way to link documents, and publisher files right to my
appointments. I found this the other day and was so excited. I have found
that it is not useful though because if I update the file when I'm in the
appointment box it does not change the original file and vice versa. I have
tried creating a new *.doc and inserting it as an object but I always get the
message that it can't open the object. I read somewhere here that it happens
because the versions are different but they are not. I'm on XP with Office
2003 for everything. I would just like a link to the actual file not a
"copy" of the file attached to the appointment.

After you select the file, click the little down arrow at the lower left corner of the file dialog. You should see an option to insert as hyperlink.
