I've tried placing an IncludeText field on a Word doc tied to a .txt file and that works OK, except it doesn't update automatically when the contents of the text file changes. The Link option seems to allow every type of file except .txt. Any suggestions? I'd like to keep it as simple as possible.

We usually use Mail Merge for this. Create a Source on the fly and then merge it to new document.
