Re: Best way to pull separate files into one file -- Word 2003

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

You can also probably use "insert text file" at the end of each section to
insert the next section.

When I wanted to combine all my thesis chapters into a single document, I
just copied and pasted each chapter into a separate section of the main
document. Probably not the most efficient solution, but it worked for me
(I
was really careful to use the same styles etc. for all the chapters).

Because unless you are 1000% certain that you are doing the correct
thing or
if you make a miniscule error, you can destroy some or all of the
sub-documents in one easy move.

Try it by all means but have separate backups of all the documents
before
you start and keep making additional back ups during the process so
that you
can move back a step at a time when the disaster occurs.

It is seriously difficult to use it.

Yes, they are similarly formatted throughout. Why is master/sub
document
dangerous to use?

Depends on what you mean by "the same." Uniform throughout the
compiled
document or the same as in each constituent document? The first is
relatively easy, the second extremely difficult.

what is the best way to put eight separate chapter files into one
long
file
in Word 2003, so formating, etc, stays the same in the various
files?
thanks
