How do I merge several Word documents to make one large one?
I have several Word documents created in RoboHelp which I want to combine
into one large documents. In previous versions of Word, you could create a sort of skeleton and pull in the different files. Is this possible in Word 2007, and if so, how do I do it? Thanks |

If you are referring to the Master Document feature, it still exists but is
still somewhat temperamental. I have not been able to determine where the feature lives in Word 2007, however. -- Suzanne S.

The phrase does not appear in Help.
But go to View tab, choose Outline view, and you get an Outlining tab at the left of the Ribbon, and it has a Master Document group. On Nov 12, 12:27*pm, "Suzanne S.

Thanks, grammatim. I was running out the door and didn't have time to hunt.

Yabbut once you've got it, how do you use it? If it's completely
absent from Help, and the aftermarket books say don't use it? (I quoted Inside Word2007 last time -- MS Press's own book!) On Nov 12, 3:59*pm, "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Thanks, grammatim. I was running out the door and didn't have time to hunt. |

I did download it ... the one that says everyone who warns against
using it doesn't know what they're talking about? On Nov 13, 1:21*pm, "Suzanne S.

The conventional wisdom is that master docs should be used only for final assembly and printing, and that you should only ever edit the subdocuments, not the master. But I've never used the feature, so I'm talking through my hat. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "grammatim" wrote in message ...

Ah, good. So it is still available (for whatever that's worth).
