Hi Jamal,
You could create a 'target' document into which all the 'source' documents will be linked via INCLUDETEXT fields. This will allow you to have the same headers, page numering sequence, etc, thoughout. The only content in the 'target' document might be the Table of Contents. Alternatively, you could create a 'target' document into which all the 'source' documents will be linked via RD fields. Again, the only content in the 'target' document might be the Table of Contents. the difference with this approach is that the content from the 'source' documents isn't inserted into the 'target' document - they just share a common Table of Contents. See Word's help file for details.

If you want those, insert a continuous section break as the first character in each source file, then go into its header & footer and make sure the 'same as previous' setting is off.

It did work once i set the path and the name of the file in the dialogue box but not inside the word file!!!! please, see the attached image.
is there a way to let the target file takes the page settings of the source file????? or we need to set the target file before? thank you Quote:

• you have a '\* MERGEFORMAT' switch in the field in post #5. Delete it. That's meant to control some aspects of formatting. If you don't delete it, it might cause more problems. • when you insert an INCLUDETEXT field manually (which you can do without going through the dialogue box), the file path needs to have two backslashes for each path separator (see the field in post #5) - or you can replace the backslashes with single forward slashes. For example: {INCLUDETEXT "F:\\All\\Various\\Graduation Project ENCE530\\doc\\ch1 Introduction(1-2).doc"} or: {INCLUDETEXT "F:/All/Various/Graduation Project ENCE530/doc/ch1 Introduction(1-2).doc"} To insert these fields manually, go to wherever you want to insert one, press Ctrl-F9, then insert the field code. When you're done, press F9 to update.
