Merging two Word documents into one

[Rejje]

Hi!

Can anyone tell me how I can add one Word document to another so that they will become one single document?

WrdDoc1 + WrdDoc2 = WrdDoc3

The page header and footer may differ in the original documents (might be worth telling).

Hi Rejje,

You will need to have a Next page Section break between the WrdDoc1 & WrdDoc2 data in order to provide for the different headers & footers. You will also need to unlink the second Section's header & footer from the first Section's header & footer before inserting those elements from the source document. If the page layouts differ, you'll need to provide for that in the second Section also.

Hi Rejje,

Macropod's advice sounds correct.

Make a new section at the end of document 1 with the "Page layout -> Breaks -> Section break on Next page" then unlink the footer in the new section and set the margins to match those in the document you are going to insert (document 2).

You can then insert the whole document using Insert text from file button under "Insert -> Text -> Object -> Text from file"

I can put up some VBA code if you're doing it for multiple documents in the same way, but for the odd one, its much simpler to do it by hand.
