Merging 2 documents

M

Mike

I have two documents that I need to merge or add together
into one document. The problem is I need them to maintain
their current formatting but when I add the second
document is gets reformatted based on the first. I have
tried adding a section break but that doesn't seem to
help. How do I do this? Thanks.

Try positioning your cursor where you want to add the file
and clicking...

Insert | File

Thanks for the reply, but I tried this as well as copy-
paste and the inserted document completely reformatted to
the settings in the first document.

If you are using Word 2002 the following should do the
job, good luck!

Open the "Edited doc." go to tools, un-click "Legal-
blackline", click Merge, that should give you an arrow,
click on the arrow-down, and click on "Merge into New doc."

That should not change or edited version or base document;
instead give you a completely new document.

Hope this helps.

Mike,

Another idea that might work go into your main (base)
document, insert a section break, put your cursor at the
beginning for the new page, then open your 2nd document,
press CTRL + A, to copy the document, then back to your
1st document click on the "Paste" icon, it will then paste
all the text into that document, you should get a
little "past icon" at the end of your document click
on "keep source formatting"
