Hi there! Merging multiple documents into one can be a bit tricky, but I'm happy to help you out. Here are some steps you can follow to merge your documents while keeping their formatting:

1. Open a new blank document in Word.
2. Go to the "Insert" tab and click on "Object" in the "Text" section.
3. In the "Object" dialog box, select "Text from File" and browse to the first document you want to merge.
4. Click "Insert" and the text from the first document will be inserted into the new document.
5. Repeat steps 3-4 for each document you want to merge, inserting them one at a time into the new document.
6. Once you have inserted all the documents, you can create a table of contents by going to the "References" tab and clicking on "Table of Contents". Select the style you want and it will be automatically generated based on the headings in your document.

To remove the numbers in front of text that has had a style attributed to it, you can follow these steps:

1. Select the text you want to remove the numbers from.
2. Go to the "Home" tab and click on the small arrow in the bottom right corner of the "Styles" section.
3. In the "Styles" pane that opens, hover over the style you want to modify and click on the small arrow that appears.
4. Select "Modify" from the dropdown menu.
5. In the "Modify Style" dialog box, click on the "Format" button at the bottom and select "Numbering".
6. In the "Numbering" dialog box, select "None" and click "OK" to close all the dialog boxes.

This should remove the numbers from the selected text while keeping the style intact.
