Automatic document assembly?

[Steve]

Folks,

I am working on a price book project, and one of the ways to acheive my
objective is to find a method for automatically assembling a large doc from
many smaller docs. Does anyone know of a book or other resource that
outlines how this might be done? Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance...

Steve

One way is to use a "Binder." It's not a popular feature, but it does
what you're asking for.

A Binder is a collection of files in a specific order. When you print a
Binder, the documents are printed in the specified order.

To start (using Office 97), right-click at an empty spot on the desktop,
and use:
New >> Microsoft Office Binder
After opening the new Binder, use its Help for instructions about adding
Sections to the Binder. Each Section can be a Word file.

The Binder program is at
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\BINDER.EXE
