Default Macro for Combining Multiple Word Files Together Into One Document

Hi all,



Is there a way to combine multiple word document files into a new word document just with a simple macro?

For example, I have 5 documents saved on my H drive, and they are numbered in the following manner:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Or do I have to use mail merge for this?

Thanks!

It is not quite as straightforward as you might imagine, though simpler if the documents are based on the same template. See http://www.gmayor.com/Boiler.htm
If the 'H' drive is a flash drive or similar removable media, copy the files to the hard drive FIRST.

Hello Mr. Mayor,

The files are just text--have nothing special-I think-it is a file with several multiple choice questions followed by the answer choice, and the explanations.

I read about your Boiler program. I will try it.

Thanks,
