   	I have a few files that contain some repetitive information for example   
   "Days of Week" with some other data included.  I keep a daily   
   journal and every week I used to use the file insertion plug-in to   
   add a fresh week.  Now I open the file, copy the contents to the   
   clipboard and then insert that file at the appropriate point in   
   my journal.  Sometimes to avoid frequent repetition I add it in   
   4 or 5 times.  I hope that is a clear enough explanation.  Every day I   
   copy the Day of the week from the clock and use it to write over   
   the place holder which today was Wednesday and I copied over it with   
   Wednesday, 7 September 2022.   
      
   	It was also handy to write a short document about something then   
   insert that document into a longer one concerning a more general matter   
   or add a document to another document.
