I think that the best option is to use view, then outline, then insert the files.
Am I allowed to paste here a Youtube video that explains how to do so?

This is the video that explains how to do so:

Additionally, I believe a macro could be used as well? I know a macro to do this on Excel, the macro opens the destination and the source books. Then copies the source books tabs and copies them onto the tab I choose on the destination book. Is there something similar for Word? I assume you can set up a macro that opens the books, then copies the headings/sections/bookmarks and puts them onto the destination file?

Thanks again
Sanchez
