Combining many smaller docs

[Luigi]

I have 21 seperate documents of varying length and format that I wish t
combine into one 200 page book. The individual documents are numbere
according to their place - some using i,ii,iii... format, other
1,2,3... The headers/footers, borders, etc are different in som
smaller docs...

How can I combine these smaller files such that their unique propertie
are retained? (Headers, footers, borders, numbers, etc...)

I have tried:

INSERT: FILE - I lose page numbers, some borders, and the formattin
of the text gets corrupted in areas

CUT & PASTE - I lose numbers, headers/footers...

I am using Word 2000. Any help will be most appreciated
