How do I merge two publisher files?

[screnda]

I am using publisher 2003. I am creating an 80 page catalog. I like to save
page 1-10 as file one, pages 11-20 as file two and so on. When I am finished
with my catalog I need to send one file to the printer. How can I merge all
of my pages together in one file?

Copy and paste. Or if you have Acrobat (not just the free Reader) you can
create a single .pdf file with the parts.

I have tried to copy and paste, but on each page i have about 15 different
pictures and 15 different text boxes and the background, it won't all copy at
one time unless I am doing something wrong.

Did you do a select all?

In the catalog merge, you have to option to combine publications.
In step five of the wizard there is an option to "Add the merged pages to the end of
an existing publication."

Use any pdf creating program to create several pdf files of multiple
pages. Then you could use the modestly priced PDF-Tools program to
combine the several multi-paged pdf files.

However, this won't work if you're looking to create a Booklet fold
document.

Wouldn't the above met the obstacles?

Don't think so. The obstacles are in Publisher. It will output the ten
pages of the first document as a booklet format, with the middle two pages
blank. Ditto the next ten-page segment. It will print as if you printed
the individual documents, giving you lots of little booklets rather than one
large one.
