How to merge two raw rtf docs?

[Guest]

We need to merge two rtf documents without the user seeing. Currently we
open the docs using notepad, removing the outer braces, add them to a new
document and then open this in word. However this is causing problems with
font tables and other items in the headers of the rtf.

We have tested using word automation but want to know if there is any other
way?

Cheers,
Andy

Well, the default way to insert one file into the other, from the UI,
would be Insert | File: *.rtf (in your case). I would very much assume
the usual caveats of inserting a doc file into another apply here as
well (styles conflict, section properties in the last section of the
inserted file will not come over, etc.).

Thanks Robert, yes this is a problem but at least the rtf headers and
handled correctly.
