Inserting another complete document into my document
I have a Word document with headers and footers. I want to retain those on every page. However, in my document, I want to embed another document, in its entirety, including its header and footer...
I tried that using sections and it did retain Joe's header in Joe's section, but it over wrote my header that was in that section before pasting Joe's document. What I want is my headers on every page, including Joe's. But I also want to see Joe's, in Joe's section under mine.
Maybe the paste as text might accomplish that, except that wouldn't have Joe's header below mine. It would have Joe's middle of Joe's content on some pages.
I might be able to solve that with page breaks.
I will read the articles and see what I missed.

I am not sure I understand correctly, but if what you write means you want to have Your Section 1 + 2 info on Joe's part, and Joe's part in Your Section 1 + 2, then that's really simple. You put both info there.
You can use a table, something like this:
Unless you need to have different headers/footer/page numbering, no need to use sections breaks at all.
Here is what I'm trying to get.
Section 1:
my headers and my text
Section 2:
My headers and Joe's headers, and Joe's content
Section 3: back to my headers and my text.
If you imagine this visually every page would by my document based in headers BUT in the Joe section it would look like a screen capture of Joe's showing the header. But I dont want to use images. I'd like to drop his into mine, and keep his 100% intact, including his headers, and without losing my headers in Section 2.Another way to imagine this. Imagine I had my document with a bunch of blank pages in Section 2, with my headers. Then I printed out Joe's document, with his headers and cut out each page and pasted each on one of my blank pages. Each of those pages would show both headers.
OK, so back to sections.
Refer to my previous post (create a section, unlink the headers/footers, etc., paste Joe's text).
1. Go to Your Header Section 1: Insert a two-row table. Row 1: Your header text. Copy table.
2. Go to Joe's Section: Paste the table, Insert Joe's header to Row 2.
3 Go to Your Header Section 3: Paste the table.
Bob's your uncle.
Variations:
Table has three columns, use column 1 and 3, or two columns.
Instead of a table, use tabs.
Or don't use table or tabs, just insert two paragraphs. You can also style them differently.
Use the Navigation Next/Previous commands in the 'Header & Footer' on-demand ribbon for smoother control. L.
