I am using Word 2000 (9.0.6926 SP-3) and when I select the "Merge
Documents..." command I get a dialogue box to select the appropriate file and
when I select a file I get the message "The merged documents contain unmarked
changes. Do you want to merge up to the first untracked change?"

When I click OK I basically get the original document.

Maybe I need a later version?

Strange. When I tried the Compare and Merge documents command it merge
the Comments from multiple documents for me. What doesn't work
exactly?

unfortunately the merge command doesn't seem to do it... as far as I
can
tell...

I have tried copying all comments but when you paste them into the
comments
in the master document they just end up as additional text in the
comment the
cursor is on in the master doc... not a set of new comments against
other
parts of the text

Try using Tools/Compare and Merge Documents and see if that is what

I would like to send a document to many people... get them to add
comments to
each of their versions... and then merge the returned douments
(identical
except for comments) so that all coments now reside in the one
document.

Is this possible?
