Embedded word document on Word for Ipad

My company is moving to using Ipads for documents at meetings. Their preferred way to operate is to create an agenda in a word document and then embed all of the relevant supporting papers (i.e. more word documents) within that agenda next to the relevant item. So on a laptop they would see the agenda itemw with a word document icon beside it.

When attempting to view on an ipad the icon is not visible and additional documents can't be opened.

i know that there are other solutions but wanted to confirm that their preferred method won't work before exploring the alternatives.

Hi,

I'd like to ask a question before we proceed:

How did you embed the documents in Word?

Let's try the following and verify the result:

1) Embed a different document and check if it opens in Word for iPad.

2) Embed different type of files in Word document and then try accessing it from Word for iPad and verify the result.

I look forward to your reply to assist you further.

Thank you

I have embedded word documents and PDF documents using a couple of different methods. I have tried insert>object>create from file>display as icon and

copy>paste special>files>display as icon

i then email the document and open the attachment using 'open in word' the document opens and I can see the icons but tapping etc doesn't open the embedded documents.

aany advice much appreciated.

Hi ateeq

Unfortunately this functionality does not seem to be supported with word on ipad. The conclusion that we came to was that we needed to find a different way of distributing our documents.
