Hi,

I have a bunch of word document which I don't want to touch. I want to
combine them all into a "book". The book should have links to the individual
documents or have them copied automatically into the "book". I would like
that book to be perfectly linked to the documents also when it is copied to
another location (with the individual docs of course).

I know this used to be a feature in Word and I did it many years ago. I
can't seem to find this feature now.

Thanks!

Can you elaborate a bit what you intend to do with that "book" once it
is finished? Depending on that information, the very best answer may
indeede be: create PDFs!

You _might_ recall the Master-/Subdocument feature. However, with a
typical case (individual files have been created), with no further
preconditions met (like: those files have been created from the same
carefully crafted document template, styles have been used consistently
also and especially with any numbered paragraphs), compiling these into
a Master will most certainly have failed in the end (and even more so if
you go back in Word versions).

You might also recall INCLUDETEXT fields.

Or RD-fields (though I'm not positive you get the "automatically linked"
part that way.

Possibly you're referring to Binder? No longer in current versions, though
you can still use it if you still have it installed.
