how to merge 40 novel chapters into one main document

Is there a way to create a master document in word 2007? (40 chapters @
142,000 words) Years ago, Lotus had a very simple way to do this, but I can't
find anything comparable in MS Word 2007. Thanks.

CTRL-f9 and use INCLUDETEXT in the field, followed by the file name. You'll
need two slashed instead of one when using absolute file names, e.g.,
{ INCLUDETEXT "C:\\Documents and Settings\\My Documents\\Filea.doc"}

You need to do that for each chapter. I suggest you create a separate
section for each chapter as well.

Hi Petersk,
Do you know of a way to create a master index for multiple chapters?

Hello Bernieo
Do you know of a way to create a master index for multiple chapters?

RD fields (to reference the individual files) should do the trick.
