In "Word" How do I merge eight files into one?
I clicked on the "Help" menu, and a detailed descriptionof how I do this was
there. However, it stated "Click on the Tools bar. Then click on "Compare and merge document". My Tools bar only shows two options : "Word count" and "Mail merge". So how do I merge eight files into one? Any help would be deeply appreciated. |

Hi Brenda,
Why can't you try Insert File? Jaleel "Brenda" wrote: I clicked on the "Help" menu, and a detailed descriptionof how I do this was there. However, it stated "Click on the Tools bar.

Help was describing a different kind of merge, i.e., where you are merging
different versions of the same file (e.g., containing edits by different people) to consolidate edits/changes. Insert - File will do what you want. If you simply want to concatenate the 8 files, use Insert - File, and don't use Insert as Link. If you want to maintain the 8 files independently, using the 9th file merely to display them so they appear to be a single file, then use Insert as Link in the Insert File dialog box. The master document feature, in theory, can also do what you want. However, master document has a longstanding reputation for being a good way to corrupt/destroy files. If you use this approach, please please please make backup copies of all documents involved. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP http://www.herbtyson.com Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along.
