I have 3 documents that each have different headers and footer and page
numbers. They all have the same merge fields. I currently merge then print
each one individually. Is there a way I can merge and print all 3 whilst
retaining their indvidual Headers/footers?

Hi ?B?QmlsbHlfTWNTa2ludG9z?=,

I have 3 documents that each have different headers and footer and page
numbers. They all have the same merge fields. I currently merge then print
each one individually. Is there a way I can merge and print all 3 whilst
retaining their indvidual Headers/footers?

Yes...

Open the first document and put the cursor at the end of it. Insert two empty
paragraphs and put the cursor in the first of the two. In the Outline View
there's a button on the Outline toolbar to display the "Master document"
tools. Activate these tools.

Use the "Insert Subdocument" tool to bring in the next document. Move to the
end of the document. Insert the third of the documents.

Now click on the little document symbol at the top left of each of the two
sub-documents you inserted and click "Remove Subdocument". This will leave
the text, but remove the links to the original files.

Notice the section breaks between each document. These are what maintain the
individual headers/footers. Note that they *might* cause problems with the
mail merge result, depending on exactly what you need to have. you'll need to
test things and maybe do some tweaking.
