I just discovered something great for single-sourcing snippets that are repeated in a larger document. It uses Bookmarks and Fields.
To insert a document or part of a document (a.docx) into the main document (M.docx):
- In document (a), highlight the part of the text that you want to bookmark.
- Click Insert > Bookmark, give it a name (let's say "Zoo"), and click Add.
- In the main document (M), place the cursor where you want the bookmark text inserted.
- Click Insert > File, and browse to the file.
- Select the Link to File check box and type in the name of the bookmark in the Range/Bookmark field.
- Click Insert.
This looks quite different from the Windows version which includes double backslashes:
{ INCLUDETEXT "C:\\My Documents\\a.doc" Zoo }.
There are probably other nifty optional tags in the field that I don't know about.

Yay.
