Combine multiple Word docs
Are they different versions of the same document, or are they different
parts of what will ultimately be a single document? If the former, you can try Word's Combine feature. Assuming you're using Word 2007, you can try Review tab, Compare - Combine. If the latter, you can use the {includetext} field where you want each different part to appear. Note that if you use Insert - Field, you will need to include the full specification for the file's locations, but syntax in the field code will be correct--i.e., \ has to be doubled, { INCLUDETEXT "C:\\Users\\Herb\\Documents\\test.docx" }. All told however, I would tend to think that copy and paste isn't nearly as tedious since the Field dialog does not have a Browse button, and you basically would need to get the folder information from Windows Explorer. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word Bible Blog: http://word.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Puzzled in Vegas" wrote in message ...

Combine multiple Word docs
A bit of a convoluted process is to use Adobe Acrobat Standard or Pro. I
tried the combine option in Word and it didn't work very well. So, I used the Combine feature of Adobe for multiple Word documents, then did an export from Adobe (Standard 8.0) back to Word. Seemed to work well. In Adobe - - Click Combine Files , and then click Add Files. - Select the files you want to combine, and click Add Files. - Adjust the order of files as desired, and then choose a file size and conversion setting. - Click Next, select Merge Files Into A Single PDF, and click Create. Then, - Click Export - Click Word document - Name the file - Click Save "Puzzled in Vegas" wrote: How do I combine multiple Word documents without a tedious cut-and-paste? |
