Actually, keeping a single file would be the easiest solution, by far. However,
see if you find the method in the following article useful:

I'm working on a Training curriculum with seperate modules each as a
seperate word file. I need to number the pages so they flow but I don't
want manually have to go and update them when pages gets deleted or
added.
I tried this appraoch:
1 At the end of the first document insert a PAGE field; select it.
2 Format the field as "hidden".
3 Place the field in a bookmark (Word 6/95: Edit/Bookmark; Word97 and
later: Insert/Bookmark).
4 Save this file; open the next file.
5 In the header or footer, where the page number should appear,
insert the following set of fields:
{ = { PAGE} + { INCLUDETEXT "C:\\My Book\\Chap1.doc" Chap1Pages
\* CharFormat \! } }
6 Repeat the steps for each document in sequence.
But these documents will be distributed to several people so the field
needs to be able to work when the path to the files changes but keeping
all the files in the same folder.
Is this at all possible?
