Assembling a multi-chapter document

[Guest]

I have built a document consisting of multiple sections (chapters). I built
each chapter in a separate document so I could work on them independently. I
am now trying to build a 'master' document that has the title, a table of
contents and all the chapters. When finished this document would be like a
book - a novel. I thought there was a command like 'INCLUDE' that I could
bring the chapters into the master document for printing. Is there such a
feature?

Word's "Master Document" feature is likely to corrupt, so don't actually
use it.

There is an IncludeText field, detailed here:

Another option:

You could also just combine the chapters into a single file and work
with that from now on--that may be easier. Word has been known to handle
up to 10,000 pages in a single file, as long as your machine is
relatively modern/fast.
