how to merge documents making facing pages from the two of them

[Guest]

I would like to combine two Word documents so that the pages from one of the
source documents become odd pages, and the pages from the other source
document become even pages in the master document.
Is this possible in Word? If yes, please help.
Thanks,
Zarko

Nothing built into Word will let you do this automatically. You'd basically
need to copy/paste one page at a time. A macro could possibly help with this,
but depending on how the two documents are constructed it could be a bit
tricky, in practice. You'd definitely have to be sure that both documents are
formatted with the same set of styles if things on both pages should look the
same. OR, if they should look quite different, make sure you're not using
styles with the same name in both documents.

To get help with a macro you should ask in a word.vba (developer) newsgroup.

Word is not a page layout application. There is no concept of page in the
application. It is a continuous document the 'pages' transient entities
determined by several factors. The only way to do this would be by
repetitive cutting and pasting.
