If you can open the files in Notepad, you may still be able to open them in
Word. Can you send me a sample to the link on my web site? Note that
broadband has not yet reached this remote outpost so if the file is large
maybe we need to think again

I will be away for three weeks from Tuesday so if you want me to look into
this, you'll have to be quick - or patient

Don't feel too guilty, it was an amusing exercise that may come in useful
again.

extremely sorry..!

when i opened the files, they opened in notepad as like a simple txt
file. that's why i thougt that there would be a way to merge them
instead of copying the text in each file and pasting into a single
file..!!

i don't know much abt the compressed files.!

once again i feel regret much for having troubled you!!

This method will only work with files that Word can open. You are
going to have to extract the text from these presumably compressed
files first.

yes..the code works well for text files!!!
