Assembling a Manuscript with Multiple Chapters in Individual Files

Question

I have written a novel that has 11 chapters.  I have written each chapter in a separate Word file.  I would like to assemble these into one manuscript without having to copy and paste each chapter.  Does Word have any capability to do this?  I'm thinking of something like this:

1st Section

...include TitlePage.docx

2nd Section

...include TOCPage.docx

3rd Section

...include FigPage.docx

4th Section

...include Forword.docx

5th Scection

...include Chapter1.docx

6th Section

...include Chapter2.docx

...etc...

Thanks...Bill Smart

Answer 1

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/includetextfields.htm. But if you want to actually insert the files into a new document, use Insert | Text | Object | Text from File, selecting each of the files in turn. You'll probably want/need to insert Next Page section breaks between chapters and other parts.

Answer 2

The Insert | Text | Object | Text from File with New Section Next Pagegives me the capability I wanted.  I can then manipulate the individual headers to continue or modify the Page Number format and sequencing.  Thanks!
