Word Formatting

[Mike T]

I need help with Word X. I have 2 documents that I am lately frequently
trying to merge to a single PDF file. The files are a resume and a cover
letter. I have the docs separate for most purposes, but occasionally want
to create one file.

Here's the problem.....when I try to cut/paste one into the other I loose
most formatting (font size/spacing/colors) from the pasted document. I have
tried all options in the "paste special" section to no avail.....

Anyone have a workaround? Suggestion?

Well, to keep your formatting you would insert a section break before
inserting the second file, see here for more info on that:

http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Formatting/WorkWithSections.htm
It should tell you exactly how to keep the formatting.

However, there seems to be an intermittent bug with Word X where it creates
a second PDF if there is a section break in a document. But it doesn't
always happen, it seems to be linked to section breaks where margins or
orientation change. So maybe you won't run into it.

Hope that helps,
