combining documents

[Guest]

I have 110 documents that I would like to combine into ONE file so I can
print them as a book.

The pages are all formatted exactly the same margins etc.

I've tried 'insert' 'file' and selecting them all at once from the directory
they reside, into a new file with the same 'page set up' but the result is
not pretty. It does NOT put a page break between the imported pages.

There must be another way...? right?

Hello. Did you get an answer to this question? I just spent about an hour
looking for similar information.

I am actually looking for a way to combine documents from multiple
applications (i.e. Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) into one document that I can
print.

For example, if I have 10 pages in Word, then, 5 pages of Excel charts, I
want to be able to print them all together using one large file, so, I can
print the same each time.

In a previous version of Word (XP), there used to be a program in the
accessories that used to accomplish this task, but, I have not seen it since
that version.

Any help you received that you can share would be greatly appreciated.

Sean, I have not yet heard anything. Short of bringing them in individually
and manually creating page breaks, for 110 documents, I don't have any other
ideas yet. Keep an eye on this thread.

If you still have Binder from Office XP, you can still use it with Office
2003.

Thanks!

Under another posting, somebody recommended that I try Adobe Acrabat
(standard).

I downloaded the 30 day trial (you can purchase for 199). It has the
"binder" function, as well as many other functions that I find useful--like
editing PDF documents, changing the order, and, creating multiple files into
one large PDF file for printing/publishing.

If you need a short term solution, I would say you should download and try
it. After trying the program, I have decided that there are many great items
within the program, and, I am going to purchase it when my trial is over.
There are many items within the program that help with my "I wish I could do
that..." items.

Also, as the other post indicicates, if you have Office XP, you can use the
binder feather within XP. I only have 03 and 07 disks. It was removed in the
03 version of Office, and, I do not see any information on the office website.

Thanks again for your response!

I downloaded the 'Word' add on; "Boiler" and had no problems installing it.

When I use it however it only allows me to choose one file at a time.... I
have 140 one page documents I want to combine into ONE document. How do I
select all the files at ONCE to be included?

Call me LAZY....
