How do i join multiple documents into 1 single document
I have several word documents that i would like to join together to form 1
single word document. Is there an easy way of doing this, like in Adobe Acrobat, without having to copy and paste everything. I am using Word 2007. Thanks. |

How do i join multiple documents into 1 single document
On Menu
Insert File (in dropdown list) Select file to insert You may have a formating issues such as auto numbering - it depends on how all your files are set up individually. Are there section breaks required? Does autonumbering continue etc. www.docsliveonline.com "Trevauk" wrote in message ...

How do i join multiple documents into 1 single document
The short answer is that you cannot do this as you can in Acrobat. Much
depends on what is in the documents and whether they are based on the same template - you could use includetext fields, or you could try the boiler.dot add-in which you can download from my web site. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Trevauk wrote: I have several word documents that i would like to join together to form 1 single word document.

How do i join multiple documents into 1 single document
Hi Both
Thanks for the replys. The documents are single word documents that vary from 1 to 4 pages long. They are all formatted the same in A5 with the same custom margins and were all created from a blank word document. They have been created by different contributors to a newsletter I am compiling. Some are all text whilst a few have pictures inserted in them. They are all in Word 2003 format. I am looking to merge them all into one document in the easiest and less time consuming way possible. |

Insert file 2003 (insert text which is a file) in 2007 work fine.
Graham's add-in is also good it shows a list of docs in a directory and you pick the ones you want to insert into the active screen document. I use a macro I wrote that does the same as Graham's add-in. For future ease of use download Graham's add-in. "Trevauk" wrote in message ... Hi Both Thanks for the replys.

In the interests of fairness - I have to point out that it is not *my*
add-in, but is based on an obsolete add-in from Woody Leonard, brought up to date to work with Word 2007 and adding the option to insert a new page section break between each document. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Summer wrote: Insert file 2003 (insert text which is a file) in 2007 work fine.

How do i join multiple documents into 1 single document
I have several documents to merge so I downloaded boiler.dot. I printed the readme file and followed the instructions. Unfortunately, I am doing something wrong. I extracted the zip file to Office Startup and everything seem to be OK, but when I clicked on boiler.dot tab in Word, it went to a folder labeled "Copy" that was empty. I tried the process again and had the same problems. I even tried to extract the file to add-ins and that didn't work either. I am using Microsoft Office 2007. As I am having such a terrible time, any additional guidance from anyone will be GREATLY appreciated. I feel so silly that I can't get the process figured out and I am at my wits end. And thanks ro Mr. Mayor for his many contributions to Live Help. "Graham Mayor" wrote: The short answer is that you cannot do this as you can in Acrobat.

How do i join multiple documents into 1 single document
When you start the macro, a dialog box opens with the title Copy. This
dialog is used to select the folder that contains the files you wish to join. Select the folder then click OK. The userform will then be populated with the files that folder contains. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Lyn wrote: Mr. Mayor, First of all, thank you for your posting in Live Help.
