Title: How do I combine two word documents
Post by: RockenNS100 on May 21, 2007, 01:05:03 PM: Ok so for my English we had to make magazines.
I made each article/add/filler etc. on a different
word document, is there any way for me to
combine them together? ???

stuff on some of adds and I can't get
them to copy at the same time.

Post by: soybean on May 21, 2007, 02:09:49 PM: I looked at Compare and Merge after my first reply. Seems to me it's not really going to work for him because it is designed to compare to two documents, identify differences, and merge them without any duplication of content. And, that's not what he wants to do. But, I'm not very familiar with that tool, so I could be wrong.

2. Go to document 2. Edit - Select All - Copy

3. Go to the end of document 1. Edit - paste. Tidy up.

4. Save as document 3
