Merging multiple MS Word documents into a MS Excel Worksheet frame

[Guest]

I'm working with multiple MS Word documents that are large and too clumsy to
be handled as one large individual document. I would like to know how I
could merge all the documents together into one file and have tabs for each
section so I can easily jump around between them like that of a MS Excel file
with multiple worksheets.

I'm working with multiple MS Word documents that are large and too clumsy to
be handled as one large individual document. I would like to know how I
could merge all the documents together into one file and have tabs for each
section so I can easily jump around between them like that of a MS Excel file
with multiple worksheets.

Word simply does not provide an equivalent to the Excel scenario. You always
have the Windows menu or, in later versions of Word, the individual buttons on
the toolbar.

Other than that, I suppose you could have a special toolbar, saved perhaps in a
template common to all documents so that it's always available when you're
working in any of the documents. Put buttons on it for each document in the set,
linked to macros that check if the document is open and switch to it, if it is;
or open it, if it's not.
