Erm, sorry to say that, but this makes no sense. The only way to do this would be to use beforeRender event and load this content using your own code, but why would you want to do this? There is much easier way - use Joomla Article field

I looked for a Joomla Article field since I assumed you would have one. There is only an option for Joomla/Module. Where do I find this?

I installed "Joomla! Article" but I am not sure how to select the article I want displayed?

19 is the Article ID. A saw no other spot to select the article.

You need to add this field to the sire or admin form, then edit article and there you will have a select box to select article.
