Hi Jean,
You can indeed build a single doc via INCLUDETEXT fields in the target document pointing to each of the source documents. You can
then create a PDF from the target document. Give it a try! Even if that were not true, the better PDF software out there lets you
merge PDFs.
Other than that, your merging problem may be due to one of the source documents having some corruption. A simple way of fixing many
corrupt documents is to insert a new paragraph mark at the very end of the document, then copy everything except the new paragraph
mark and paste the copied material a new document.
Cheers

| Hi!
| I am not satisfied by your response. I can not built for example a PDF file
| of the whole book with your suggestion, I really want to merge the whole
| document, when I start to merge 2 or 3 chapters, word no longer respond or
| the program is automatically closed.
| More over, if i succed to merge the files, when I want to save 3 chapters on
| a single doc, I have a funny message say the disk is full to write on
| drive..., free some space on this drive, or save the document in another
| disk. Try one or more of the following..... (whereas it has more than 10 GB
| free).

| Please I am confused
