Combine\Merge multiple Word Documents????

[jdrake]

I have about 20 MS Word docs that need to be combined into 1 Word doc. This is a manual produced from a software vendor and when I provide this to my customers it looks like crap, some documents have only 1 page. I want to take all the documents and combine them into 1. MS help is junk. I need to combine whole documents together but not by opening each one and copy\paste. Thanks anyone!

Do an Insert|File from your "master" doc - you'll have to choose the file each time but it will plop the contents into that one doc.

Without using code, the way I have done this in the past is as follws:

1. Either use a "master" and "subordinate" document. To do this, you will need to designate one document a "master" and others "subordinates". From the master document, you will be be able to open the other subordinates. This is useful so that you don't have to manage one massive file (so each subordinate document could be a chapter heading for example).

This may not be too useful if you are intending to mail a single document to someone.

2. The other way is a little more sophisticated than a cut and paste, but may well be just as time consuming. I would "insert/file" all the files you want to merge into a single document.

Hope that helps.
