merging documents "Al" <ah[ at ]moustraining-nospam-.uk.com> 20.07.2006 20:21:22 Hi I have a series of word documents that I want to merge into a single documednt Can someone advise the best way to undertake this? Thanks

Re: merging documents <aalaan[ at ]tpg.com.au> 20.07.2006 20:52:03 IMHO, the simplest way in Word 2000 (may be in others) is first list the files with a pen (gasp) on paper, then load in the first document. Go to the end. Insert | File | (choose the next file) and keep repeating this until you have collected all the documents. Save As (the new name). There may be more elegant ways, in which case the experts here will soon shoot me down! :)- "Al" <ah[ at ]moustraining-nospam-.uk.com> wrote in message news:%23rZDToDrGHA.4676[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl...

Re: merging documents "CyberTaz" <typegeneraltaz1ATcomcastdotnet> 21.07.2006 16:15:13 I don't know about 'more elegant' but as long as you're not talking about *dozens* of docs and they are all in the same folder you can just go into the Insert>File dialog & hold down the Ctrl key while you click the names of the files **In the REVERSE order** of how they should be inserted, then click the Insert button. It makes it real easy if the files are named in a sequential manner rather than randomly listed. -- HTH |:>) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac <aalaan[ at ]tpg.com.au> wrote in message news:44bff333[ at ]dnews.tpgi.com.au...

Re: merging documents <aalaan[ at ]tpg.com.au> 21.07.2006 19:52:33 I didn't know that one! Very good but IMHO even more important that the OP makes a *written* note of all the files he wants to concatenate, and ticks them off as he goes.
