SUMMARY

To combine documents in Microsoft Word for the Macintosh (for example, to append one document to the end of another), use one of the methods listed in the "More Information" section of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

Method 1

Use the Clipboard or Scrapbook to copy and paste the information from one document into another.

Method 2

Use the INCLUDE instruction in the Print Merge command. This instruction inserts the text of the document named in the instruction into the document at the location of the INCLUDE instruction. The statement reads as follows, where the chevrons (<>) are created by pressing OPTION+BACKSLASH (\) and SHIFT+OPTION+BACKSLASH and where "document" is the name of the document you want to include:

      <<INCLUDE document>>

   The information in the named document is then included within the
   text of the merged document when you choose the Print Merge command.

Method 3

Use the Next File option to instruct Word to print a specific document after printing the current file. In Word versions 3.x, this command is located in the Page Setup dialog box (on the File menu). In Word 4.0, this command is located in the Document dialog box (on the Format menu).

Method 4

In Word versions 5.0 and later, click the cursor in the location that the second file is to be inserted, and from the Insert menu, choose File, then select the file to be inserted.
