Roger,
Yes, I tried something similar: I renamed one of the files and left it in its folder. After that, I double click on the corresponding icon in the Word document and it opened nicely, so is all good. :-)
Thank you all!

I was wondering about that too. Haven't tried it yet but you could move the
(linked/embedded) files to another folder and try the Word doc.

Open Explorer.
Select all files to insert. Press Control-C (or right-click/Copy).
Open target document.
Position to where you want the inserted files.
Select Paste - Paste Special.
If you want the file contents inserted, click OK.
If you want the files embedded as icons, click "Display as icon" then OK.

Wow, it was so simple! I did not have any options when pasting, only the command to PASTE, but it did the trick. It pasted the text files as icons, as I wanted. Thank you.
The only concern I have is that I do not know for certain if what was built was a "link" pointing to the text file rather than embedding the object in the document.
