Merging multiple documents

[Ken]

I am trying to merge several documents that were created
wtih the same template by different people into one master
document. It is mostly a series of bullet points.I would
like to include each bullet point rather than combine what
is on each line. Does anyone happen to know how to do
this? Thanks.

Can you spell it out a bit more? I couldn't visualise what exactly you are
starting with, what you want to end up with, and what problems you are
encountering.

The boiler.zip file from the downloads page of my web site might help?

I have one document with various subject headers. Under
each header are several bullet points that I get from
people addressing various issues. I have been cutting and
pasting, but was hoping I could do a merge documents to
speed things up a bit. Problem is, when I do this, the
bulleted points are simply added all together into one
long paragraph, not added as if it is a new point.

e.g.

ted sends one bullet point
bill sends another
alex sends a third

I'd love to take my main document and merge theirs into it
so that there are three separate bullet points. Make sense
now? Or did I just confuse you even more? Any help would
be great. Thanks.

Yes, I understand what you mean now. The trouble is that I don't know much
about this area, as this newsgroup is really about "mailmerge" and "fields",
whereas the thing you are talking about is "document merge", i.e. something
else altogether.

I will have a look at it, but am unlikely to come up with anything you
haven't tried, so you may be better off posting this in a different group,
/perhaps/
