madhu,

In order to do this, you will have to save the two files to disk. Then,
you need to use the Excel automation model to open each document in an
instance of Excel. Then, you have to copy the contents of one document to
the other (or perform whatever operations you are looking to perform on the
two documents) and save the one document that is the result. You can then
take the file and read the bytes into a byte array.

Hope this helps.

Just as a side note, I did see this on www.lifehacker.com the other day:
Combine several Word files into one without copy-and-paste

Maybe the macro will give you some insight into how to combine the two
documents programmatically.

Macro i think will run on the client and requires word atomation.
How do we merge documents when the data comes as bytearrays?

observed that appending to a file also does not work. It works only if the
data is text only.

Hi Nicholas ,

I did the same.But then,
since the word files are mostly identical,only on file is opening.
the other is not being appended.

I did this using microsoft office interop word dll and the merge method.

plz help
