To save on printing costs, I want to combine five different WORD files then
print ten copies for class manuals. They all are slightly different - styles,
formatting, etc. Each file prints fine as a single document. To combine them
I've tried Master Doc (problems because they are formatted differently);
Insert File ( almost works but is hard to maintain); and OLE (sounds good but
only links the first page). Seems like a common problem. Anyone have any
ideas? Thanks

The simplest way is to convert all to PDF and then combine them in Acrobat.

You will need to use Adobe Acrobat or one of its cheaper clones.
