Merging Files
I have several Word documents to merge using Student Office 2007 (Vista op
sys). I tried creating a unified document in pdf with the trial version of Acrobat 8.0 - without success..possibly a compatibility problem. Any suggestions? |

Without knowing exactly what it is that you tried with Acrobat, what exactly
do you expect as the end result? -- JoAnn Paules Microsoft MVP - Publisher How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 "Frostbie" wrote in message ...

Make sure you have the latest updated for Acrobat 8. (You need at least
8.1.0 to be compatible.) -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Frostbie" wrote in message ... I have several Word documents to merge using Student Office 2007 (Vista op sys).

Thanks for responding. I an writing a family hx book for family members. Each
chapter is a separate word doc. I tried converting each doc to pdf and then combining them. This was no problem using XP. Is there a better way to bring docs together?

Word will comfortably handle several thousands of pages (up to 30MB
excluding any graphics). So create a combined document by starting from a new blank. Use Insert File (and choose the first chapter), add a section break, Next Odd Page (SAVE) and then repeat Insert File, selecting Chapter 2 and so on. I recommend regular saving after adding the Section Break. Finally, use Word 2007's own Save As, PDF. No need for Acrobat - though if you haven't already done so, you need to download the add-in from the Microsoft Office Support site (a very silly licencing dispute between Adobe and Microsoft).
