inserting word documents
I have several documents that I'd like to combine. Each one contains changes
made by several different people. I'd like to preserve these highligted changes in the combined document. I've tried to simply append one to the other using cut & paste and 'insert file'. Unfortunately, when I do this, the entire appended document now appears as a single change to the original document rather than showing the individual changes that were made to it before it was appended. If I unprotect the receiving document before appending, all the changes in the appended document essentially are 'accepted' when I append and appear as original text. Tried to merge, but guess you can't merge two totally different documents. I immediately get the "Merged documents contain unmarked changes..." message. (That's another issue.) Any ideas on how to do this? |

You are going to need a third party application like from Workshare.
Workshare or Deltaview actually changes the styles of their compared documents, therefore the styles will carry forward into a new document. Another alternative would be to PDF print those documents and then combine the resulting PDF documents into a single document. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Ugh! That's not what I wanted to hear. I'm using Word 2000. Does 2003
offer any remedies? "Dawn Crosier" wrote: You are going to need a third party application like from Workshare.
