To merge several documents in one master document
Hello,
Please for mail merge purposes, I am trying to insert several files formatted differently into one single master file. The problem I have is that a couple of files are heavily formatted (including headers and footers) and when I insert them (or copy and paste them) into the master file, the format of the newly inserted file is all over the place and the headers are forced into subsequent files. I tried to create section/page breaks, however thats not helping. May be I am doing something wrong? Please provide guidance on how to insert several files into one single master files while preserving the format of the original files. Regards Al |

Hi ?B?YXRtYm9uZGE=?=,
Please for mail merge purposes, I am trying to insert several files formatted differently into one single master file. The problem I have is that a couple of files are heavily formatted (including headers and footers) and when I insert them (or copy and paste them) into the master file, the format of the newly inserted file is all over the place and the headers are forced into subsequent files.

Please provide guidance on how to insert several files into one single master files while preserving the format of the original files. Well, the Master Document feature would do the inserting for you, no problem. I guess I'd try that, then select the individual sub-documents and click the "Remove" button to remove the sub-document links (leaving just the text). Since the Master Document feature can be "finicky", be sure to make copies of the individual documents as backups, just in case :-) Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 17 2005) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |
