Default Insert text from file for ALL files in a folder

I've searched the forum but could not find this question/answer, so I apologize if it is a repeat...




I typically have batches of a few hundred word files that I need to combine into a single file. I use the 'insert text from file' function on the ribbon but this only tends to do 50ish files at a time, meaning I have to do it over and over to get them all. Is there a way to write some sort of script that would run the function multiple times until it has processed ALL files in a given folder?

Importing word docs is no different to importing text files so this code by Macropod would work with minimal alterations to change the filename suffix
