You will also find that printers don't handle portrait/landscape on a single
sheet of paper when duplex printing. So combining even manually when
documents are mixed orientation is always going to be a problem.

The boiler.dot macro does indeed insert a next page section break between
documents (if the option on the userform is checked), but there are limits
to what Word can do in a single document with disparate documents based on
a variety of templates.

It would be a simple matter to come up with a macro that can handle
the variations that you mention. It probably just requires the
insertion of a Next Page Section Break at the end of the each
inserted document before the next one is inserted after it.

Hi Terry,
We do already extensively use this awesome utility; however, as you
noted, it doesn't handle the portrait/landscape combinations well. I
understand that MS Word is just not designed for something like this,
but when one is trying to be responsive to customers' requests, one
looks in every nook and crany to find a solution - especially in
these economic times. I'll look deeper into the boiler macro to see
if we can do something. Thanks Terry.

Download boiler.zip from Graham Mayor's site. This utility/macro
lets you chose which files you want to combine. Chose the option
the add new documents following a section break, next page which
should enable you to insert each document and keep its format.
However, I am unsure how it will handle portrait/landscape
combinations, but give it a test.
