How do I combine 35 separate Word documents into one
I have 35 chapters and alltogether about 500 pages. But each chapter is a
separate Word Document and unfortunately I formatted every chapter manually. Now, I want to combine them into a book, that is, one document with an index. So iwhen I click on chapter 5 for example, chapter 5 opens. First of all, is there a recommended way to combine all these into one, apart from copying and pasting. |

How do I combine 35 separate Word documents into one
If you can keep your documents separate (ie each one is a different chapter),
then you can do a table of contents in a separate word file with docref fields. I'm not familiar with indexing over multiple documents, but it can probably be done.

You could use Insert | File, but that can be a bit tedious. Try the
Boiler.dot add-in available (as Boiler.zip) from Graham Mayor's downloads page: http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm -- Suzanne S.
