Is it possible to insert a multi page OLE Object?

I work at an architectural firm and we constantly have to include a building code matrix on out title pages. I have been inserting OLE from file and selecting Microsoft word documents.

Works great for one page files, but what do I do when I have a multiple page file to insert? My solution so far is to save each page as a separate file and insert OLE for each one, or print to a .PDF wide enough for all pages to fit, and insert that.

Seems like I am doing extra work for no reason. Is there a setting or option that I am missing?

I'm using CAD 2006

Thanks for the thread, but it doesn't work the way I would like. My word.doc has tables and cells everywhere, so importing text into a mtext box does work, but all it brings in is the text. and when I drag and drop the .rtf right into the file it does the same as inserting OLE, just showing the first page. Maybe this is something for the wish list.

side note: I found it pretty confusing to post a question is there something I'm missing?
