Hi- Using Word 2000. I want to string a bunch of word files together in
one document. Each file has a different header. How can I switch the
previous header off, and allow the next document's header to apply?

Thank you very much for any help!

You'll need to insert a section break at the end of the main document and
also one at the end of the document you're going to add. See

Thanks Suzanne,
I'm pretty good with this stuff, and I still don't get it. How can it
possibly be so complicated? All I'm trying to do is preserve formatting
when adding one document to another.

Where is WordPerfect when you need it?

The document layout (page/section-level formatting) is stored in the section
break at the end of a section (or the last paragraph mark of a one-section
document). In order to preserve this formatting, you must bring the section
break with it. You will not be able to preserve style formatting if the
inserted document uses the same styles as the target document, but with
different formatting.

How do I "bring the section break with it." Is is cut-and-paste? Is it
insert file? I'm trying to combine two Word files into one. Each file has
different headers, which I want to keep. No matter what I try, I can't seem
to maintain the headers when combining the files. Thanks.

If you have inserted a section break (it can be Continuous) at the end of
the file, you can use either cut and paste or Insert | File; the section
break will come along either way.
