Default Linking multiple documents

Tell your client that it is quite practical and much simpler to work on the
thesis as a single document. That's not to say that you can't keep the
chapters separate and combine them later, but the ultimate goal should be a
single document. It's possible to create a TOC for multiple files (see
http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/P...le.asp?ID=148), but it is
much, much simpler and more practical to create a TOC for a single document
after combining the chapters.

I am preparing a thesis for a client who would like to complete each
chapter
as a separate document but keep footnotes/endnotes, references etc flowing
through all the documents as if they were the one document. He would also
like a table of contents for the full set.
Is this possible in Word2007?

thanks for your help
