Combining Publisher Files

[BK]

Using Office 2003

I have a 12 page booklet (fileone.pub) and a separate 10 page booklet
(filetwo.pub) which I would like to combine into a new document
(filethree.pub). I think I am looking for something similar to Word's
Insert File option, but cannot seem to find this in Publisher.

Any ideas???

Copy and paste.

My second document is the result of a catalog merge that consists of 10
pages of merged information that is displaying 5 down and 2 across. Each of
those merge results is in a separate text box. I cannot seem to select all
10 pages in order to do a copy and paste. And I can only "lock" together
the 10 separate text boxes on any one page.

So do I have to copy and paste one page at a time into the original
document? Wonder if it would be easier to re-perform the catalog merge and
select "into existing document" instead of "new document."

Any advice??

Copy and paste.

There is something definitely amiss on the Internet today. I cannot open the
Microsoft sites or my site and a couple of others I do... None are on the same
server. Google works!

Well, after looking at this article, I think I'm just going to re-perform
the merge and select to add it to an existing document. That should add the
10 pages of merged data to the original document. My catalog merge results
in 10 entries per page, and I'm sure this will be the easiest way to produce
the desired result.

Thanks for the link, though.
