Because unless you are 1000% certain that you are doing the correct thing or
if you make a miniscule error, you can destroy some or all of the
sub-documents in one easy move.
Try it by all means but have separate backups of all the documents before
you start and keep making additional back ups during the process so that you
can move back a step at a time when the disaster occurs.
It is seriously difficult to use it.

relatively easy, the second extremely difficult.

what is the best way to put eight separate chapter files into one long
file
in Word 2003, so formating, etc, stays the same in the various files?
thanks
