Within the limitations of what is possible with documents that have
disparate margins and conflicting paragraph style names, you could try the boiler.dot add-in that you can download from my web site and check the option to insert each document on a new page. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org PaulB wrote: I have about 300 word files that I want to combine into one, but the INSERT FILE does not bring over the different margins and backgrounds etc. How can I do this please? |

It is fully documented in the PDF format readme file in the downloaded ZIP,
which is also available separately from the downloads page of my web site from where you obtained the Boiler.zip file. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org PaulB wrote: Graham I have Boiler downloaded & showing in Word - where can I find instructions on how to use it please?

Hi Graham
I found Boiler 2002-3 on your site www.gmayor.com and I have the .dot in my folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\STARTUP as directed and it pops open the boiler add-in when I open Word, but when I go to click on Boiler it returns "The macro cannot be found or has been disabled because of your security settings" and even if I lower the Macro settings to LOW I still get the same error. What am I doing wrong please? I am using Office 2003.

OK - I figured it out - I should have had it in C:\Documents and
Settings\Paul\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP. Thanks. Boiler did a good job of bringing in the backgrounds but I will have to do the margins and column formatting manually though.
