If you insert section breaks between the inserted documents, each can have
its own headers. However what you end up with is also affected by whether
the documents all use the same styles. Unless the originals are all
similarly styled, trying to combine them with formatting preserved is
usually far more trouble than it's worth.

If you're just trying to create a composite output, a simpler method is to
output each document to PDF, then combine the PDFs using Acrobat.

I have now been able to do what I wanted to do, due to the help,from you all.
My next problem is, I need to start the page numbering on the second page
displaying page one. In short nothing on the first page, page one displaying
on page two, if that makes sense .

For this specific situation (it won't work in any other), check "Different
first page" on the Layout tab of Page Setup (for Section 1 only) and set the
starting number at 0 in the Format Page Number dialog.
