Default Merge separate words files into one master file.

Hi ... I have several book chapters I've written in separate Word files.

Is there a way to create a master document that will merge the other chapter files into this one word file?



Thanks

… but most postings in this forum will, I think, advise you against trying the Word "master document" feature ;-}
http://www.sussex.ac.uk/its/help/faq?faqid=323 mentions one alternative, and I see the command is in the same place in Word 2013.

It depends. Adobe Acrobat is much better at this. As was stated earlier, avoid using the Master Documents "Feature"

If you do try that feature, do it with a backup of your documents.

You can use an IncludeText field for each document, separating them by a next-page section break.
