The problem is that they both have different headers and footers. When I merge the documents, header from the first applies to the second one as well. Moreover the page numbers also continues in the merged documents. Any ideas? This works well but I have two documents I need to merge into one.

However when I insert the word documents, the documents are then inserted in any random list MS wants! It is very frustrating. For instance, it doesn't arrange in the order you selected the word files, or by alphabetical order of the file names. Has anybody figured this part out? If yes, please share! Thanks.

Even with the ribbon and the lack of helpfiles this feature is well hidden. NOw if only MS could make it better by a) keeping the original formatting intact b) retaining headers c) obey page breaks then we'll have a true winner! Kinda like what Adobe Acrobat's PDF binding does already. Thankyou very much for this tip! Even with the ribbon and the lack of helpfiles this feature is well hidden.

Worked nearly perfect for me. Some of the stylings were broken, but it was many times faster than any other solution I found! Thanks! Worked nearly perfect for me.

i can’t seem to figure out how to tell word to leave my outline levels alone when inserting the subdocuments. after inserting the subdoc, i have to go thru EACH level of oultine and restart numbering at 1 (other level as was in original doc). the insert subdoc IS leaving my headers and footers alone as each section has unique values

what i want is:

Section 1
1.0 Sometext
1.1 somemore text
2.0 next heading

Section 2
1.0 Sometext
1.1 somemore text
2.0 next heading

word keeps inserting the subdocs like this:

Section 1
1.0 Sometext
1.1 somemore text
2.0 next heading

Section 2
3.0 Sometext
3.1 somemore text
4.0 next heading

i have played with all the word options as in destination and source text as it relates to copy/paste. have also played with “Update Links on Open” (or something to that effect)settings. only thing i have found to get close (and only if all the subdoc links are removed in the master doc) is to CTRL-click when opening the master (from Windows Explorer.)

the net result is to have a proper table of contents based on values I (not microsoft) want in my TOC.

thanks, steve
