Merging two documents
ShoegalSC 12/17/2008 9:36:40 PM
I have two documents, that are formatted the way I want them, with different
headers and footers, etc. I want them together in the same document. Is
there a way I can merge the two documents into one, so the first page, is the
first document I have created, and the second page, is the other document I
have? I know how to merge the two with comments and tracked changes, but I
want to combine the two as a PDF creater would combine the two. Hope that
makes sense. Thanks!

Add a section break at the end of the first document, then insert the 2nd
document after your section break

That will make no difference unless the source document also includes a
section break at the end that is inserted with the rest of the document. In
such cases it is actually more efficient to put a section break at the end
of the document you want first and insert it at the beginning of the other
document. That way you don't end up with an extra, unwanted section break.
