Because when you send a document to another user, he won't have access to your
start center... Now why it's necessary to do it, I don't know, but it's a
frequently used feature in the users' world, what I can imagine is that it's
easier to read the full doc and only open the embedded document (marked by an
icon) when it's needed instead of having it cutting the page through a section.
Maybe you should try to follow the process described by Jay to get the full
picture of the feature. Sophie
