Creating a new document by adding other documents
I am using word 2007. I need to create a new single document from three
existing documents. All docs are word 2003. Also how do I lock each page in the documents from changing when editing? |

Creating a new document by adding other documents
I'd use the Insert File dialog box (Insert tab | Object | Text from File in
Word 2007) to bring the documents together; that will also give you a "preview" of which format changes (if any) that you may have to deal with in the process. On the other hand, if you want to preserve formatting (as indicated by your final question), it would be easier to create three PDFs and then combine those into a single PDF. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Tonish" wrote in message ...

The 3 files were created by scanning 3 different documents into PDF and then converting to MS Word. I will be sanning a number of more files and converting. I just thought there would be a way to include all finished word files into one large file. . |

I just thought there would be a way to include all finished word files into one large file. It would be almost impossible to do this as the resulting documents will undoubtedly have similar style names with conflicting descriptions which cannot co-exist in a document. The simplest method (though time consuming) would be to use your OCR software scan as plain text then format that text as you require it. There is no simple way to combine a disparate group of documents into a single document, and unless there is a pressing reason to do so I would not bother. Keep the documents separate, or leave them as PDF and use (say) Acrobat to combine them. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org |
