Merging different documents in one big document keeping the chapters, figure numbers and tables
Hello ,
I needed to register again . I want split a big document in smaller sub documents and later merging into a big file. The sub documents will have chapters , figures and tables, If I use use the different styles to edit later a table of content, when I will merge into one big file, will the chapters number , figure and table update automatically? Thanks |

If you split the document then recombine it, all numbering etc. should update when you do so. But why are you going through this process?

Thanks for your reply.
I am not splitting the documents. I am writing different word file and ten merging in one bigger. I am writing a scientific paper file 1 : Intro file 2 : matherial and metods file 3 : results etc etc when I copy all in one file, do the photos number, captions and table automatically update? for example I have 1 img in file one (FIg.1) and I have one img in file 2 (Img.1). If I copy and paste the text from file 2, not that img is image 2. |

Provided you use automatic numbering - and you use cross-references to those numbers instead of typing them when you want to reference a numbered item, the numbers and cross-references should update when the files are combined - at most you might need to press Ctrl-A, F9 to force Word to update the cross-references.

yes, sorry I try to explain better.
When I said I want split a bigger document I meant that I want divide the whole document into many word files as the number of the chapters. Once finished copy and paste in one file. For cross references do you mean " linking" the imgs with the text using the option in word? Sorry I am not at work and my Office is in Italian. |

That kind of thing, yes. See also Insert|Cross Reference (under Inserisci on your screenshot).

I use the same topic becasue it is about the same document.
I am using EndNote to insert references into my document. Again, if I am writing in a document , iserting reference, when I merge all the smaller document into a big one, will the reference list auto-update? Thanks |

That depends on how EndNote works - you need to ask its makers about that.
