I have a project that involves opening several Word documents in memory,
making changes to the text, merging them into one master document, and
printing it to one file. The problem I'm facing is that I can't figure out
how to merge the document objects without saving them first.

Word appears to have no problem merging documents from file, but I would
rather avoid this. Writing the changed document to file first would cause
unnecessary overhead.

I considered programmatically using cut and paste operations to accomplish
the merge, but this seems like a hack. Can anyone suggest a better way?

Many thanks in advance,
-Tim
