I have created several master pages and want to combine them in a single
publication of 4 or more total pages.

If it's only 4'ish pages, copy and paste.

Dear JoAnn,
Cutting and pasting is not suitable for a publication of 28 pages, is there
any other way? It seems MS Publisher suggests this technique; but without a
way to combine work, what is the advantage?

Don,
This is not a good way to proceed with a publication of 28 pages. Even
Adove has a way to insert completed pages, not as "cut and paste".
Thanks,
Michael

That suggestion was for a publication of 4 pages, not 28,. However, I
don't know of any other way to go about it.

You can collect 24 items with the Office clipboard open. Ctrl+A each page, copy.
Go to your primary publication, add 28 pages, paste from the Office clipboard.

I have to admit that by the time I'd read thru them and fussed with a merge,
I could have copied and pasted those pages and moved on. I can CTRL+C and
CTRL+V pretty quickly. ;-)

John,
I understand and I appreciate your taking the time and effort to reply. It
is just that I am a little disappointed with the product. It is not a new
issue and I had hoped that it was resolved.
Thanks again for your suggestions.

It's not something I could do in the amount of time it takes to chug a
beer, but with Ctrl/A, Ctrl/C, switch Page and Ctrl/V, (or even better
if Pub has a shortcut for Paste In Place) it wouldn't take very long!

There's where you went wrong: NEVER chug a beer. Not even a "light"
beer, as bad as that genre is.
Take your time. Savor it.

I second that notion. A friend of mine asked me to help put his illustrated
book onto a cd. I naively told him that would be no problem. It turns out he
put each page together as a separate document. At a little over 400 pages
Ctrl-C Ctrl-V is not an acceptable solution. If you drag a file into
Publisher the cursor switches to the add icon but the document opens in a
separate window which is infuriating. The database solution seems a bit
convoluted as well. Combining multiple documents into a PUBLISHING
application seems like a basic function to me. I find it odd we even need to
have this conversation in the first place.
Dear Publisher team, great product but please, please, please fix this.
Thanks and good luck.

Ouch!
There are a lot of graphics in his book so I'm afraid autoflow would mean a
lot more work. I'm going the publish to PDF then merge in Adobe rout. Only
340 odd pages to go!
Thanks,
Dave
