How do I combine several word files into one continuous document
I'm writting a text book. All the chapters are in separate files for ease of
editing. Now I need to produce one continuous manuscript for the publishers with page numbering, table of contents etc. I suppose I could cut and paste all the files into one file and work from that. But there must be a more elegant method than that. |

How do I combine several word files into one continuous document
Which version of Word are you using? In 2003 I know there is an insert file
command. I've also used a Word add-on that makes assembling from multiple files a bit easier. It is the boiler.zip file located on Graham Mayor's site linked to below. This tends to make things a fair bit easier when trying to assemble multiple files into one single document. http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm One warning, what seems like it should be "easy" and elegant, is often anything but, and often formatting gets very screwed up. Speaking from lots of personal experience here. Good Luck "Njdao" wrote: I'm writting a text book. All the chapters are in separate files for ease of editing.

How do I combine several word files into one continuous document
In 2007 it's Insert Object (almost at the right end, bottom of a
list) Text From File. (Even though you're not inserting an object, and even though it doesn't have to be "text," and it's not "from" the file, it's the whole file.)

You would have to reset the page numbering to the required numbering at each
section break. I'll have a look, when I have a few minutes spare, to see if the code can be modified to take account of existing page numbering sequences. An alternative would be to output each document to PDF format and then use Acrobat (not the free reader) to combine the PDFs into a single larger PDF. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org rakesh wrote: I tried this plugin, it works good. but i am unable to retain the same page numbers. is there a workaround for this? please advice.
