combining documents
in [Document Management]
|
From: kraftsims on 26 Apr 2010 17:50 I'm working on a manual for my company. I've generated all these forms in different word documents. The manual is divided into 4 tabs/sections. I have anywhere from 2 to 12 or so documents in each section/tab. I had this idea that printing would be easier if I were to combine each section from multiple individual documents into one long document per section. How can I combine a series of documents? Anyone ever done this type of thing before (manual creation) and any good tips on commons do's and don'ts? Thanks
From: Peter T.

Put a Section Break New Page at the start and end of each file before you Insert it.

From: Peter T. Daniels on 27 Apr 2010 08:43 What does that do to different margin settings? Or even Portrait vs. Landscape!

From: Stefan Blom on 27 Apr 2010 09:38 It should work with continuous section breaks; see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/WorkWithSections.htm. Note that I don't pretend to know *why* it works. As explained in the article, it is unclear if anyone knows... :-) -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Peter T.
